NEW  TORK.  March  16— An  attempt 
to  kin  Judge  Otta  A.  Rosalsky,  of  the 
court  of  General  SesBlons  with  a  bomb 
proved  unsuccessful  tonight.  It  was  only 
a  defect,  said-to  be  a  small  accumulation 
of  dirt,  in  the  mechanism  of  the  in- 
fernal machine,  which  the  juatioe  uo-^

has  been  given  a  great  deal  of  xiubtlclty 
in  fit^mactlob  with  th«  l!*olks  S.  Brandt

tenced  Brandt  to  a  thirty  year  term  for 
the  hilrclary  of  M.  t,.  Chiffs  home  in 
1007,  and  wdio  recently  reversed  his 
action.  At  a  late  hour  tonight  there  had 
been  no  clue  as  to  the  identity  of  the 
senders  of  the  explosive.

have  a  scheme  for  re-estahUahlng 
themselves  throughout  British  Colum- 
bia withjn  the  .next  few  years.  By  the 
adoption  of  this  course  it  is  claimed 
that  riot  only  will  the  Pacific  coast  get

population  as  an  integral  part  of.  the 
scheme  Is  to  draft  a  large  number  of

Sir  WUUam  •«  Head 

;  Sir  William  Bull  himself  is  believed 
to  be  at  th«  head  of  the  movement.  Ho 
is  understood  to  have  stated  that  with- 
in the  ensuing  12  months  the  firm  of 
which,  he  is  head  will  have  aoroethlng 
like  one  million  dollars  running  'loose 
from  mortgages  and  other  sources,  the 
major  portion  of  which  he  Intends  in- 
vesting on  Vancouver  Island.  A  con- 
siderable proi)ortlon  of  that  sum  was 
Intended  for  Investment  in  India  and 
Australia,  the  colonies  with  which,  un- 
til recently  Sir  William  was  most  fa- 
miliar, but  on  his  recent  visit  here  he 
was  so  much  Impressed  with  the  su- 
perior opportunltle.s  of  this  country  that 
he  has  decided  to  divert  as  much  of  It 
as  possible.  More  than  that,  several 
of  his  frlenda  who  were  on  the  eve  of 
leaving  London  for  Australia  In  quest 
of  Investment  fields,  have  received  no- 
tice from  .Sir  William  to  remain  at  home 
until  he  arrives  so  that  he  may  he  able 
to  give  them  the  beneflt  of  his  experi- 
ences in  "Wf^atern  Canada.  FearlnR

HAVANA,  March  1«.-— Under  lowering 
skies  and  a  heavy  sea.  the  old  battle- 
ship Maine,  resurrected  after  14  years 
burial  in  Havana  harbor,  today  plunged, 
with  her  oolora  flying,  to  her  everlast- 
inir  rest  600  fathoms  deep  in  the. waters 
of  the  Gulf.  The  sinking  of  the  Iiulk 
was  carried  out  precisely  as  planned, 
marking  the  end  of  tho  work  begun 
more  than  a  year  and  a  half  ago. 

After  impressive  ceremonies,  the 
bodies  of  the  dead  were  taken  aboard 
the  armored  cruiser  North  Carolina. 
Minute  guns  were  fired  by  the  North 
Carolina  and  the  scout  cruiser  Birming- 
ham and  the  batteries  of  Cabanas  fort- 
ress  until  the  ships  cleared  the  har- 
bor. 

Her  decks  deep  with  flowers  and 
palms  and  an  ensign  floating  from  the 
Jury  mast  where  the  mainmast  former- 
ly stood,  the  Maine  put  to  sea  on  her 
last  voyage.  On  the  deck  stood  Oapt. 
O'Brien,  famous  as  "Dynamite  Johnny," 
sklpp«r  of  the  fllabusterlng  sihip  Daunt- 
less, and  three  friends,  acting  as  the 
Maine's  last  pilot.  As  the  wreck  passed 
the  American  squadron,  the  crews  man- 
ned tho  rails,  the  marines  presented 
arms,  and  the  bandsmen  on  the  quarter 
deck  played  the  national  anthem,  while 
the  minute  guns   boomed  a  requl<?m. 

The  arranK^ements  of  the  sinking  con- 
sisted of  numerous  valves  in  the  bot- 
tom of  the  hulk  and  the  large  sluices 
in  the  bulkhead,  which  with  all  the 
doors  In  the  two  permanent  bulkheads 
rcnmlning  open.  For  ten  minutes  no 
change  wiih  visible  In  the  hulk  which 
pitched  heavily  as  the  roller*  struck 
her.  Then  she  began  sinking  at  the  bulk- 
head. The  stern  rose,  and  In  a  few  sec- 
onds the  hulk  waa  almost  vertical,  show- 
ing first  the  propellers  and  then  the 
full  keel.  The  next  moment  there  was 
;i  splash  of  blue  and  white,  as  the  en- 
sign   flying    from    the    mast    struck    the 

the  decks  were  blown  up  by  tha  air 
I^eseure  and  the  Maine  eank  down 
leaving  the  flowers  on  the  surface  of 
the  sea.  Whistle  blants  from  tha  whole 
fleet  were  the  only  salute.

gether with  the  probable  dates  which  it 
could  be  released.

contain  an  estimate  of  the  value  of  the 
road  now  building  from  Seward,  Alaska, 
to  the  Matanuska  coal  fltjlUs.  Which  prob- 
ably will  be  taken  over  by  the  govern-

LONDON,  March  16. — A  score  of  per- 
sons from  the  wrecked  steamer  Oceana 
reached  Victoria  today.  Half  of  the 
number  were  women,  most  of  whom 
were  in  a  state  of  collapse.  Some  of 
them  were  without  stockings  or  shoes, 
and  some  who  had  fallen  into  th« 
water  during  the  rescue  had  been  un- 
able to  chango  their  clothing. 

When  the  passengers  rushed*  on  deck 
after  the  flrut  shock,  the  water  was  al- 
ready dashing  over  the  bows.  The  of- 
ficers and  some  of  the  members  of  the 
crew  quickly  marshalled  the  passen-

lie  has  intimated  through  his  agents

Idea  into  active  operation  at  the'  earli-

progressive  conditions  prevailing  here, 
and  considering  them  In  the  light  of 
the  completed  Panama  canal  he  at  once 
came  to  the  conclusion  tiiat  the  future 
of  this  country  transcended  anything 
that  has  even  been  dreamt  of  by  the 
most  opttmlstio  of  Victorians.  Having 
studied  the  situation  he  was  anare  of 
what  tlie  Dominion  government  Is  do- 
ing for  the  city  of  Victoria  in  the  way 
of  harbor  Improvements  and  he  ex- 
pressed himself  as  satlslled  that  with 
a  shipping  equipment  such  as  the  cora- 
pteuon  of  the  outlined  arrangements 
would  mean  Victoria  would  be  in  a  pre- 
eminent position  to  capture  a  consider- 
able portion  of  the  increased  trade  that

The  premier  then  dealt  with  the  fort- 
-nlghtly  wage  bill  which  the  govern- 
ment did  not  iM^der  practicable.  Mr. 
ttsa»iiiiistt  mm  UVb  gawery,'  saldi  XM 
veqbesi  had  come  from  the  B.  c'  Fed- 
eration of  Labor  representing  10,000 
men.  The  premier  repeated  that  the 
/Tovernment  must  consider  how  it  would 
apply  to  the  whole  province  as  it  Was 
not  practicable  IxL  out  of  the  way  plnces, 
but  it  would,  bo  Investigated  by  n  labor 
commission. 

Another  man  Bsked  why  the  govern- 
ment did  not  pay  the  men  who  had 
worked  on  the  plans  of  the  Midway  and 
Vernon  Railway,  now  taken  ovet  by  the 
Kehle  Vnllcy  Co.

In  answer  to  questions  by  another 
man,,  the  premier  said  he  believed  the 
foreign  dependents  of  the  man  killed  in 
an  accident  should  be  provided  for  un- 
der the  workmen's  compensation.  So 
far  he  had  not  found  It  possible  to  de- 
vise a  law  to  Insure  the  wages  of  men 
empIoye<l  by  exploiters  of  wild  cat 
schemes. 

A  noie  was  handed  bp  signed  by  sev- 
eral women  asking  If  the  premier  fa- 
vored votes  for  "women.  The  premier 
replied  that  It  was  not  a  mutter  the; 
government  was  prepared  to  deal  with

men's suffrage  when  't  r^mp  iip'ln  tlie

Mr,  Jackson  .the  cHTTuiiiiitc  for  the

policy.  The  meeting  was  crowded  and 
the  iippVrtuoe  enfl  phontR  of  the  audi-

'  A  KAWVACTtmnro  osxrrBB 

On  page  2  of  the  Magazine  Section  of 
the  Colonist  this  morning  we  publish 
aome  information  tending  to  show  that 
Victoria  may  with  every  reason  look 
forward  to  becoming  a  manufacturing 
centre.  The  data  relative  to  the  num- 
ber of  factories  already  established  In 
the  city  l8  very  Interestins  and  v.-ilu- 
able.  The  list  was  compiled  from 
official  sources,  and  we  fancy  the 
showing  made  will  prove  somewhat  of 
a  revelation  to  most  of  our  readers. 
iCo  one   will  dispute,  of  oounoa.  that  at 


as  Ml.  D.  «.  Ker.  Mr.  H.  (J.  WlUan.

the  advertiH»rH  liavc  iu  thv  I'uiure  of 
taie  city.  Jjut  a«alnst  this  we  find  in 
the  editorial  columns  the  etatement  that 
this   Is   all    "a   shallow   and   hypocrllcal 

delusion/*'^  ;■'• /■'■■■., 

It  Is  xwtdlfflcult  to  fancy  the  anger 
of  the  cltUiena  it  they  should  read  Ji>.  a 
Vancouver  paper  that  "all   talk     about 
terminal   facilities   (at  Victoria)    la   the 
Bhallowe«t  and   most   hypocritical  delu- 
sion."  Public  action  would  be  taken  to 
denounce  j»o  ylie  a  slander  on  this  city.

iniluenced  by  such  a  statement  appear- 
ln«  m  the  columjis  of  a  Victoria  paper_ 
How   could   a   stranger   know    that      the 
publication    of    ■ucOi    a    slander    on    the 
city    was    Inspired    solely    by    a    bitter 
hatred   of    the    provincial    Premier,    who 
is   the   representative   of   this   city 


THXJ '  0A3SPAZOn 


AnotlKi-  day  has  pa».sed  and  the  i.ib- 
errtl  organ  has  not  been  able  to  dlsoover 
a  word  of  commendation  to  aay  In  favor 
of  the  two  Liberal  oandldaies  for  this 
lily.     And     yet     Messrs.     BrtSwster     and 


the  present  time  Victoria  i.s  primarily 
and  essentially     a    residential     centre; 
and  until  very  recently  It  would  have 
evoked  dissent  in  some  quarters  to  sug- 
gest that  wo  should  aim  to  become  a 
great  manufacturing  centre.     But   the 
situation  has  changed  to  such  an  ex- 
tent, in  almost  every  factor  affecting 
the  future  of  this  section  of  Vancou- 
ver Island,  that  our  former  notions  of 
the  desUny  of  the  city  have  to  be  re- 
vised.    No  one  now  disputes  that  the 
Opening  of  the  Panama  Canal   will  in' 
ftself  usher  In  a  ?ievv  era  for  the  cltj-; 
tto  one  disputes  that   we  shall   before 
Very  long  have  direct  connection  with 
the  Mainland:    no    one   disputes    that 
j^ritbin  a  few  years  the   whole  of   the 
magnificent  territory  of  Vancouver  Is- 
land will  be  made  accessible  by  great 
arteries  of  transportation.    This  being 
so,  It  is  clear  that  Victoria  may  look 
^forward  with  the  utmost  confidence  to 
^owtb  along  lines  which  differ  from 
i^tiose  applying  %o  the  expansion  of  a 
g»9rely  residential  city.    We  shall  have 
jit  our  command  an  abundance  of  raw

good    citizens.      At    the    request    of    the 
local    biheirtls    Mr.    Brewster   abaaidoned 
his  former  constituency,  where  he  might 
have    had    a    chance       for    election,    and 
offered   for   foregone  defeat  In  Victoria. 
Mr.    Elliott    has   entered      the     political 
arena  at  th#  aamo  request,  although  he 
must  realize  tliat  his  chance  of  success 
is    nil.      Under  Xhese    circumstances    It 
would    not    have    been    unreasonable    if 
the   Liberal  organ     could     have     found 
something    to    say    in    t^ieir    favor.      So 
far  from   having  doae  so.  it  represents 
these   gemtlemeii   as   being   attacked    by 
the  Colonist.  The  only  thing  which  tite 
Colonist  has   said    which   co«ld  be   con- 
sidered  as  a   reflection     upon     Messrs. 
Brewster  and  Elliott  Is  the  »»u?gestlon 
that   the   Liberal   organ  Is   their  organ. 
We  are  not  sure  that  they  might  very 
properly    object    to    this,    and    we      only 
await   their    repudiation    of   any    of    the 
prgen'a    utterances    to      withdraw     our 
statement  and  make  a  flttiftg  apologj". 
We   are   alleged    to   have   stated    that 
the   liiberalB  are  opposed  to  the  bridg- 
ing of  Seymour  Narrows,  but  we  -have 
not  done  so       We  have  been  Impressed 
by   the   fact    that,   while 'the ;, Provincial 
Liberal  Convention  declared  In  favor  of 
this,  the  Liberal  candidates  In  this  city 
avoided  all  reference  to  It  fcn  their  pro- 
gramme.    We  are  also  impressed  by  the 
fact  that  they  have  not  yet  discovered 
a  way  of  repudiating  the  allegation  of 
their  organ  that  the  anticipated  results 
■of  tho  construction  of  such  a  bridge  are 
"the    shallowest    and    most   hypocritical 
delusion." 


siie  is  a  daughter  of  thi  West, 
who  is  able  to  express  West- 
ern optimism  and  energy  with  her 
magic  bow.  The  Women's  Canadian 
club  and  the  Ladles'  Musical  club  are 
to  entertain  Miss  Parlow  at  lunch  on 
Wednesday  next.  In  so  doing  they  arc 
only  following  the  example.  In  the  only 
way  open  to  them,  set  by  the  late  Kl'ng, 
by  Her  Majesty  Queen  Alexandra,  by 
the  Queen  of  Norw»y  and  Other  Euro- 
pean  royalties. 

grhe  Colonist  contains  this  morning 
over  4100  IncStes  of  advertisins.  How 
i8  that  for  a  community  that  is  labor- 
ing under  "the  shHllowfol  and  most  hy- 
pocritical delusion"?  This  Is  tho  record 
amount  of  advertising  ever  carried  In 
the  regular  Issue  of  a  Victoria  daiiy 
newspaper. 

The  tour  of  the  Premier  and  Attorney- 
Oeiferat  seems  to  have  been  In  the  na- 
turs  of  -a  triumphal  march  through  the 
province.  Evidence  of  the  popularity  of 
the  administration  is  too  manifold  to  be 
misunderstood.  Mr.  McBrtde  seenM  ceiw 
tain  to  ftnd  himself  in  the  next  House 
with  at  least  as  strong  a  support  as 
he  had  In  the  last  'Mbtwe.  We  do  niiit 
care  to  lAduige  in  prophecy,  and  shalll 
only  say  that  from  present  Indications 
not  a  single  Liberal  has  a  chance  of 
election.  ^

MM  tmTMJKvmx  KBonamv 


We  print  this  morning  an  Interesting 
letter  In  respect  to  the  proposed  Infan- 
try reglmemt.  There  Is  no  doubt  at  all 
about  the  timeliness  of  the  movement 
to  organiafe  the  new  «orps,  and  we  fancy 
that,  when  the  elecUon  is  over,  and  peo- ' 
pl«  have  more  Ume  to  think  about  It, 
the  project  will  take  a  very  practical 
form. 

Vft  rtmlly  ought  to  have^  n  iitiong 
force  here,  that  la  iiiileaa  we  are  pre- 
pared to  allow  ourselve*  to  be  overrim 
by  the  Arst  enemy  that  cbotlMik-to  at- 
tack ua    We  have  an  excellittt  jivtUlery 


The  enemy  of  the  city,  otherwise  the 
ini-al   Libera)  organ,   wrigglea  badly  on 
the   hook,    which    it   prep«rcil     for  quite 
another  purpose;  but     It    can     wriggle 
through  a  hundred  issues  without  get- 
ting Itself  clear   from  the  fact   that  it 
said  with  all  dellberateness     that     "all 
talk  about  terminal  f*cllltle«  for  great 
transcontinental  railways  Is  the  shallow- 
est  and    most     hypocritical     delusion." 
TJjjls   statement   was   put   forward  sev- 
eral days  ago  and  It  ha.'*  -not  been  wlth- 
.irawn  nor  has  any  atteippt  been  made 
,,    explain   it   away.    The   worst    enemy 
of    the  city   elsewhere  could  not  devise 
a  more  injurious  etatement;     he     could 
not    more   cruelly   denounce   the  asplra- 
tions  of  every   progressive  citlsen.  The 
111  legation   Is  e   direct  slap   in   the  faxie 
1,1    rvery   man    who   Is   laboring   to   pro- 
tlic    welfare   of   the  city.    It    is   a

The  proposal  to  establish  ouch  a  regi- 
ment has  attracted  notice  in  Bngland, 
Sind  we  are  In  receipt  of  a  letter  from 
a  member  of  the  band  of  the  Coldstream 
G-uarde  asking  to  be  put  in  touch  with 
its  organizers.  We  hope  the  young  men 
of  Vlctorisi,  who  arc  not  connected  with 
the  artillery  will  take  a  llve  liitev-esl  in 
the  proposed  corps,  and  that  they  will 
be  encouraged  to  do  eo  by  their  par- 
ents and  employers.

The  Colonist  is  accused  of  making  jb. 
false  statement  concerning  Mr.  Brew- 
ster and  the  Public  Accounts  Com- 
mittee. We  wW  that  he,  Mr.  Willlaijui 
and  Mr.  Hawthornthwalte  were  mem- 
bers of  the  Committee.  This  state- 
ment was  made  on  nyhat  appeared  to 
be  good  authortty.  If  It  Is  Incorrect 
we  withdraw  It  and  express  our  re- 
gret, to  Mr.  Brewster.  We  have  not 
on  hand  at  present  the  official  list  of 
the  committees  and  therefore  are  un- 
able to  make  the  correction  more  ex- 
plicitly, but  shall  take  occasion  to  look 
the  matter  up.

It  is  a  notable   thing  that  March   of 
all    the   moQths  of  the  year   should   be 
one   of  severe     weather.     The     vernal 
equinox  occurs   In   this    month   and   the 
corresponding  autumnal  period  occurs  In 
September.     On    the    21st    instant      the 
Sun   will   "cross   the   line."  as   the   say- 
ing   Is,    and    it    will    cross    it    again    on 
September  21st.     Why  Is  it   that  while 
September      la    almost     alwaya    balmy, 
March  is  given  to  coming  or  going:  out 
as  a  Hon.  and  is  apt  to  be  ungentle  all 
through   Its  thirty-one  days?       Perhaps 
the  explanation  is  that  whereas  in  Scp-

effect  hiAi  Mr.  Hofeombe  liljHW.  M.P 
for   King's   Lynn,,  had  bMtr^'jltinty  of 
corrupt     practices.     A  petition,  against 
him,   cfharging   such   practices, .  having 
'been  dismissed  l>efore  Mr.  Martin  made 
the  speech  in  question,  Mr.  Ingleby  sued 
for  damages.   Sir   Edward  Clarke,  who 
appeared  for'  Mr.  Martin,  gave  the  fol- 
lowing explanation  which  was  accepted 
by  the  plaintiff:  "Mr.  Martin  was  •  not 
only  a  member  of  Parliament  but  also 
a  King's  Counsel  for  the  Dominion  of 
C^uiada,'  aitu  lie  was  onxlous  th.tt     h'.s 
counsel   should  make   It  perfectly  clear 
that  he  did  not'  make,  and  had  never  In- 
temlcil  to  make,  any  imputation  against 
Mr.    Ingleby.      As    soon   as    this   matter 
arose   Mr.    Martin   wrote  a     letter,     In 
which  he   stated   that  to  Mr.  ingleby; 
but,  at  the  lime,  he  (Sir  Edward 

Clarke)  must  aumit  that  the  words  he 
had  admitted  using  In  the  speech  un- 
der consideration  were  words  which  car- 
ried with  them,  and  would  naturally 
have  carried  with  thefli,  the  Imputation 
which  Mr.  Martin  did  not  Intignd  at  the 
Ume  he.  used  them.  Mr,  Martin  did 
not  admit  that  the  report  which  appear- 
ed in  the  newspaper,  and  which  was  set 
out  In  the  statement  of  claim,_  was  an 
accurate  report  of  what  he  nk\d;  but

If  you  stopped  to  consider  the  claims  made  for  "this"  and 
"that"  piano  you  get  into  a  maze  of  illogical  contradictions, 
and  the  mere  display  of  printer's  ink. 

HAYNES'  BROS.  PIANO 

We  pin  our  faith  to  the  HAYNES  Piano  knowing  full 
well  that  there  is. not  a  better  piano  built  in  North, America. 
Since  the  establishment  of  the  makers  (1851).  their  piano 
has  gained  fame  wherever  it  has  been  heard.  You'll  not  be 
surprised  at  this  if  you  hear  it.  It  possesses  a  range  of  sound 
from  the  soft  mellow  to  the  sonorous  and  brilliant. 

Easy  payments  if  desired.

seiapidated  Xnehrlates — Whether  it  is 
the  approach  of  sprins  or  the  more 
potent  nature  of  the  liquor  which  is 
being  served  1«  uncertain,  but  the  fact 
remains  that  within  the  past  few  days 
the  inebriates  which  it  is  the  misfor- 
tune of  the  police  to  gather  in  have 
been  the  most  delapidated,  physically, 
of  any  previous  period  for  a  long  time. 
Hardly  an  ftrrost  Is  made  wUt  tho  de- 
linquent Is  suffering  from  injuries  sus- 
talnpKl  either  in  fails  or  briwvls.  In  con- 
sequence a  considerable  number  of  tho

while  the  official  stock  of  bandages, 
plaster  and  other  necensary  accessories 
has  been  brought  to  the  vanishing  point. 
As  a  precaution  several  of  those  arrest- 
ed have  been  sent  to  the  hospital,  thou!?h 
none,  it  is  believed,  have  suffered  ser-

OPPOSITION  CANDIDATE-V  ADDRESS 

To  the  Klectors  of  Vlctorid 

In   accepting   the   noniTnatr.i,    < i'- 

resent  the  Liberal  party  In  thp  City 
of  Victoria  at  this  provincial  election, 
wo  wish  to  lay  before  the  electors  the 
following  statement  of  our  political 
principles: 

We  are  In  entire  accord  v. 
I   form   of   the    Liberals   of   ti> 
bla,    adopti  con- 

vention Mui„..    i.    ..;^^,    -i.u    ^_.  ..cular- 

1.  We  believe  In  bringing  all  depart- 
ments of  municipal  government  under 
dii .  i  rol  of  the  mayor  and  council ; 
an  :  the  abolition  of  the  police 
coniatltialon  and  board  of  licensing  com- 
mlHBluners,  or  their  being  constituted 
elective  bodies,  la  an  imperative  public 
necessty. 

2.  We  believe  In  extending  the  right 
of  franchise  to  women;  and  are  impress- 
ed with  the  especial  neceaaity  of  BO  am- 
ending the  Municipal  Act  aa  to  allow 
women  jfull  right  of  tranchlae  at  all 
ntWQtcipai  tfMUcHM. 

,  3.  We  beli*v*,  In  the  at>ttolute  prohtbl* 
tion  of  ttoe  Uquor  tratflo:  and  u  • 
maana  towards  that  end  we  beUev«  In 
tbe  Adoption  of  UiaJacal,  option,  itollcy 
and  of  making  its  adoption  dependent 
only  on  a  straight  majority  vote  of  the 
people  affected. 

i.  We  believe  that  the  appointment 
of  road  bosses  and  all  government  offi- 
cials entrusted  with  the  expenditure  of 
public  money  should  be  made  regard'* 
less  of  politics. 

6.  We  believe  In  the  necessity  of 
adopting  a  policy  of  giving  greater  pub- 
licity to  the  details  of  enpendltures  of 
public  funds. 

6.  We  believe  In  a  revision  of  the 
land  laws  so  as  to  safeguard  the  pub- 
lic Interest?  and  to  promote  settle- 
ment. 

7.  We  believe  In  making  collection  of 
workmen's  compensation  for  accidents 
and  Injuries  collectible  without  Ittiga^

has  excellent  officers  and   the  Petentlon 
Home  is  In  good  .hands.     But  the  work 
Of  support  Is  left  to  a  very  email  num- 
ber    of    busy    men    and    women.      There 
must  be  in  this  city   thousands  of  peo- 
ple who  would.  If  appealed  to.  be  wil- 
ling to  give  the  small  sum  that  Is  ne- 
cessary   to   carry    on    the    work    of    re- 
clamation   and    salvation    of    the    chil- 
dren. Many  women  could.  If  they  would, 
toke  time  to  assist  In  this  work.    There 
IS   much    that    real    lovers    of    children 
could    do    to'   strengthen    the    hands    of 
the    matron    '>f    th*    home    and    of    the 
detention    ofHcer.    Children      appreciate 
the    kindness   an.!    (sympathy    of      tfcolr 
Alders   and   no   one  ran   tell    how   much 
good  k'nd  worda  and  looks  and  thought- 
j;ul    deede    can    do.      This    work    ought 
.  not  to   be  left   to   eiderly   men  and   wo- 
men and  to  those  who  are  employed  by 
the  society.     Has  Victoria  no  big  broth- 
ers "and  8la*r.s  who  will  help  the  chU- 
drevi  out  on  suspended  sentence  or  who 
are  beginning  life  again  after  their  pun- 
ishment  la  ^ver,    to   keep    In   the   right 
path?    Are  i^ifre  no  homes  to  w^iichthe 
young    wanderers     can   be    invited,   and 
where  they  may  be  cheered  and  helped 
on  their  way     It  la  <Jttlte  tmie  t«at  the 
number   of  neglected   and   of   bad   ohll-- 
dren  In  Victoria  Is  not  large,  hut  that  Is 
all  the  more  reason  why  they  should  be 
taken  care  ot.     The  responsibility     for 
Mils    rt«t8    on    all    who    have    the    time 
and  opportunity  for  personal  service,  as 
^ell  as  on  those  who  can  contribute  of 
their  means  to   the  furtherance  of    the 
work  carried  on  by   the  Children's  Aid 
'Society.,

to  the  credit  of  the  Comjtany  was  adopt-

In  spots  the  tiops  of  England  played 
real  Old  Country  football  in  their 
match  against  the  James  Bay  lads  at 
Oak  (Bay  yesterday  afternoon.  These 
occasional  sprints  won  the  match  for 
them.  The  score  was  2-1. 
— Only  in  the  seeond   tiaUi  during  the 


five  or  ten  minutes  which  gave  "the 
Sons"  the  couple  of  points  that  won, 
did  they  distinctly  outclass  the  boys  In 
blue  and  white.  Still  they  had  the 
J.  B.  A.  A.  defence  so  completely  at 
8^  in  these  attacks  that  the  victory 
may  fairly  be  considefjed  well  deserved. 

However  the  Jamea  'Bay  players  and 
their  supporters  are  entitled  to  what 
consolation  there  is  in  the  reflection 
that  they  had  hard  luck.  In  the  open< 
Ing  peHod.  without  a  doubt,  they  were 
away  ahead  of  their  opponents.  The 
two  fuIl-bA^ks  played  Mt^iy»ttte  halves 
fed  their  forwards  nicely,  but  it  was 
there  that  Sai|n)«l  .Lt^llinei'a  prptegeg

ball  rolling  through. 

After  the  interval  there  was  another 
period   during   which    it    was   all    the

.  From  a  locel  standpoint  the  British 
Columbia  League  hockey  match,  which 
was  played  between  Victoria  and  Van- 
couver teams  yesterday  afternoon,  was 
a  disappointment.  It  was  not  so  alto- 
gether because  th«  lelaaderA  lotil  by  « 
score  of  4-1,  ,but  owing.to  the  lack  of 
Interest  showh  both  by  players  and 
public.  Only  nine  men  were  prepared  to 
take  the  field  when  the  whistle  blew 
and  they  went  on  with  the  contest  rather 
than  allow  the  visitors  to  go  away 
without  aonie  play  after  their  trip.  It 
was  scarcely  fair  to  Vancouver  and  cer- 
tainly was  not  a  credit  to  the  majority 
of  tlie  Victoria  Hockey  dub's  members.

The  English  flat  racing  season  opens 
in  a  few  days  and  on  the  26th  Instant 
the  Lincolnshire  Handicap  is  due  for 
decision.  The  weather  has  not  been 
all  that  could  be  desired,  and  nearly 
all  the  Lincoln  horses  are  backward  in 
condition.  The  engagrement  of  Xiong- 
hursttorlde  the  lightly-weighted  four- 
year-old  Warfare  haa  hrougbt  him  to 
the  head  of  quotations  with  a  rtm,  and 
he  has  been  backed  for  a  good  deal  of 
money.  Other  prominent  candidates 
are  J.  B.  Joel's  Spanish  Prince.  Sir.

will  have  the  mount  on.  the  top  weight.

of  the  most  popular  Imaginable,  as 
he  has  been  a'  public  favorite  since  his

Mr  Borden's  succinct  answers  to  Mr. 
Mondou's  enquiries  should  put  the'  quM- 
tion  at  rest  as  to  whether  the  gcvarn- 
roent  intend  to  repeal  the  Naval  Ser- 
vice  Act.  Mr.  Borden  says  that  they 
do.  In  thif  connection,  he  uses  the 
word  "undoubtedly."  The  act  Is  -  left 
In  force  only  because  It  Is  regarded  as 
a  convenient  means  for  keeping  the 
exlBtlns  fishery  protection  Sfrylce— and 
possibly  tLe  training  ships — goln^.

we  can.  at  least — If  we  are  fair — see  In 
it  a  reason  for  not  repealing  that  law 
Just  now,,  combined  with  a  pledge  that 
that  law  will  be  repealed  Just  as  soon 
as  the  gcyemment  Is  ready  with  a  sub- 
stitute. There  Is  only  one  possibility 
which  could  make  the  temporary  reten. 
tion  of  the  jun  seriously  objectionable: 
and  that  would  be  tlie  chance  that  It 
might  be  used  as  tti»  basia  of  the  poMoy 
of  this  new  government  The  premier 
declares  categorically  that  this  will  not 
be  done.  The  act  will  "undoubtedly"  t>e 
repealed.  Those  who  sincerely  want  to 
get  rid  of  the  "Ifiobe"  navy,  and  who

I  I  Hi, 


aiorrtaon  to  the  Tltni;s.  It  saya  that  th,e 
Irapresentatlves  of  Japan  and  Russia 
have  caused  much  conjecture  and  un- 
easiness by  their  abatenttoA  from  the 
congratulatory  visttg  paid  to  Tuan  by 
the  other  members  of  the  Corps  Diplo- 
matique in  Peking.  The  second  tele- 
gram is  a  replica  of  a  meWiage  despatoh- 
cd  from  »t.  Petersburg  to  VTadlvostock. 
It  says  that  Japan's  proposals  to  Great 
In  In  connection  witli  the  Chines^ 
lioation  were  rejected  Incontinently 
in  ]Do\vnlng  Street,  and  the  result  was 
to  bring  Japan  and  Russia  Into  mucl' 
•■loner  contact. 

Dr.  Morrison's  mcspage  to  Ihcs  'rinies, 
confirms  the  news  received  in  Tokyo 
as  to  the  .attitude  of  the  Russlali  and 
Japanese  represeiitatlyteB  in  Peking.  No 
definite  explanation  has  yet  been  fur- 
nished 48  to  the  reason  of  this  abstin- 
ence on  the  part  of  the  two  representa- 
tives, but  wihen  the  news  was  first  re- 
ceived In  Tokyo  our  readers  will  re- 
member that  the  attitude  of  Mr.  Ijuln 
and  his  Rnsalan  colleague  was  approved 
inasmuch  as  no  international  recognition 
had  yet  been  extended  to  the  Provincial 
Chlne.so  Government.  Still  it  cannot  be 
supposed  that  any  false  step  was  taken 
in  a  matter  of  such  Importance  by  tihe 
representatives  of  the  foreign  powers, 
and  we  must  only  trust  to  time  for  an 
accurate  analysis  of  the  event.  As  for 
the  alleg<»d  weakening  of  tlie  Anglo-Jap- 
nnese  Alliance,  It  may  be  dlAml«S>^d,  we 
venture  to  think  t-  "i  nnre  chimera. —

With  tli«  above  words  Lillian  Russel),  an  unqticstioncd 
authority  on  feminine  attractiveness,  places  no  uncertain 
value  on  nice  hair  as  a  beauty  asset.  Unkempt,  uncared-for 
hair  not  only  cannot  be  attractive,  but,  is  actually  ^  disgrace. 

But  why  have  ill-kept,  untidy  hair'?  By  devoting  a  few 
nK)inent.s  regularly  to  brushing  and  intelligpnt  application  of 
NEWBRO'S  H'E'RP^CIDE,  the  hair  n>ay  be- made  to  yield 
wonderful  returns  in  increased  personal  charm. 

Dandruff,  which  is  due  to  a  germ  or  microbe,  is  the  direct 
caii.se  of  more  hair  trouble  than  anything  else.  _  The  hair  be- 
comes thin,  harsh,  uneven  and  falls  out  in  quantities.  It  looks 
dead  and  lifeless ;  there  is  no  luster.    The  scalp  itches. 

IIERPICIDK  win  destroy  this  dandruff  germ  that  Is  causing  all  the 
trouble,  cleans  the  acalp,  gives  the  hair  life,  snap  and  luxuriance.  The 
lialr  stopa  cominff  out,  the  itching  ceaRes  almost  at  once  and  withal  there 
is  a  moot  ffratifylng  aense  of  cleanliness. 

To  the  woman  who  wlshen  to  make  the  moat  of  (nature's  gifts  by  liav-

LETTERS  TO  THE  EDITOR 

Ab  Infantry  S«ffln>«Bt 
(51,._ — A  few  days  ago,  or  to  bo  more 
correct,  on  the  10th  of  March  Inst,,  you 
had  a  leadlne  article  headed  "Our  Good- 
ly Heritage."  Thla  dealt  with  the  pros- 
perity of  BrltlBh  Columbia  generally  and 
Victoria  In  particular,  and  ended  as  fol- 
lows: 

"Our  Un«s  have  fallen  unto  u»  In 
pleasant  places;  we  have  a  8O0d,ly  her- 
Uasro."     ■■       ■■■   • 

.  True,  but  what  I  want  to  know  Is 
what  steps  we  are  taking  to  keep  that 
goodly  heritage,  and  I  am  going  to  deal 
with  this  from  a  military  point  of  view. 
In  olden  4ay8  there  used  to  be,  and 
amongHt  savages,  at  present  thor«  Is  a 
motto,  "Might  Is  Right."  That,  to  some 
extent,  holds  good  amongst  civilized 
nations  today.  Therefore.  In  order  to 
keep  our  goodly  heritage  wo  should  be 
prepared  to  defend  It.  In  order  to  help 
to  do  thtB  a  new  regiment  of  infantry  la 
being  organized,  and  I  wish  to  appeal  to 
the  etnployera  of  labor  and  the  employ-

factflc  coajit  were  In  aaoger.  wbat  would 
happen? 

A  vast  amount  of  money  amounting  to 
milliona  Is  about  to  be  spent  In  harbor 
Improvements,  and  upon  a  dry-dook  at 
Esquimau,  which  will  accommodate  the 
larKeat  "Dreadnought"  afloat.  Where 
would,  wo  be  If  these  were  not  protected 
by  land  forciMi  t«>  anstst  the  navy  In  the 
event  of  trouble  ensuing? 

On  the  outbreak  of  war  prices  of  real 
estate  would  bo  tumbling  down.  The 
price  of  commodities  would  go  up  in 
corresponding  ratio.  This  would  effect 
everybody  and  effect  them  In  their 
pocRBt,  and  although  »  wooia  only  taiie 


The  contour  of  the  land  can  be  seen  at 
a  klance.  and  all  that  the  engineer  had 
to  do  was  to  draw  a  line  from  point  to 
point,  enclo.sing  such  portions  a»  sloped 
towards  the  lake.  No  attempt  was  made 
to  do  this,  and  a  notice  was  served  upon 
myself  and  Mr.  Healy  advising  us  that 
the  entire  amount  of  our  properties  was 
required.  In  my  case  an  arbltrRtlon  was 
had,  and  an  award  was  delivered  by 
which  I  was  allowed  $13,500  ^aa  com- 
pensation for  having  to  relinquish  my 
property.  This  arbitration  the  city,  as 
I  am  in£uniied  by  its  legal  a^^'l'*°^'^' 
does  not  intend  to  abide  by,  stating  that 
the  city  does  not  require  all  the  land- 
l^ow,  I  would  like  to  point  out  that  at 
no  time  have  the  city  officials  approach- 
ed me  with  a  desire  of  adjusting  the  dif- 
ference between  the  amount  of  the  land 
which  Is  required,  and  the  amount  which 
they  state  Is  not — I  have  simply  l)een 
odvlnnd  that  a  new  BrbUratlon  will  be 
held.  It  Is  my  Arm  opinion,  in  view  of 
the  foregoinff.  that  this  excuse  given  by 
the  city  offlotals  is  simply  a  hoax  by 
which  they  hope  to  ascure  a  new  ar- 
bitration, and  this  is  a  procedure  which

a  very  short  time  for  these  real  estate

your  best  to  Insure  yotir8elv<|p  against

way  to  aocompUsh  this  Is  to  support,  as 
heartily  as  possible,  any  military  move-

employer^  rather  object  to  letting  their

Apparently  the  city  of  Victoria,  through 
its  ofhclals,  seems  to  be  of  the  opinion 
that  It  is  above  and  beyond  the  S.OOP«  o' 
any  law  or  regulation,  that  it  can  bring 
on  arbitrations,  and  if  they  do  not  suit, 
can  waive  them  aside;  In  other  words, 
that  the  city  can  give  Just  as  much  or  as 
little  in  payment  of  property,  which  it 
takes  oompulsorily  as  It  desires.  'It  is 
not  a  little  amusing  to  read  the  report

Booka  Arbitxatloa 

Sir,— For    the    past   few    days    I   have 
read     with     con.slderable     Interest     the 
Items  which  have  appeared  In  your  paper 
with   reference  to  the   Sooke   lake   arbi- 
trations, and   In   particular   with    refer- 
ence  to  the   recent  judRment     which     1 
secured  against   the   city   for  a  declar- 
ation that  I  was  ehtltled  to  enforce  my 
award.      I   have   reason   to    believe   that 
this  information  has  been  furnished  to 
you   by  someone   in   the   employment  of 
the   city.      This    Information   Is   entirely 
Incorrect,  and  T  was  on  the  polnl  of  sub- 
mitting   a    letter    to   you    a    day   or    two 
ago,  but  subsequently  fchangod  my  mlpd. 
The   recent  statements,  hownvpr,   which 
htive  emanated  apparently  from  the  city 
hall  with  reference  to  the  appeal  to  he 
tB.kpn  in  my  case  are  so  absolutely  mls- 
IpRfHng  that  .T   think  U  Is     quite     time 
now  that  the  people  of  the  city  of  Vic- 
toria should  know  exactly  what  la  beln«^ 
done  in  this  connection. 

It    is   stated   that   thJB   lanrt   has   at   no 
time  been  surveyed,  and.  thai  hy  roason 
of  thlp,  the  city  wap  nnahle  to  ascertain 
how   much   land   wan    reriulred      for      the 
..........  ...%...»...  ...  p^<^v*  i.'.Hc.     This  !s  S7^~ 

tirely  Incorrect,  tho  land  has  all  been 
surveyed  long  since,  and  It  did  not  re- 
Uiitrn  any  sr>«c)a!  s-.irvry  on  the  part  of 
thr.  city  engineer  to  sscertaln  whut  por- 
tion  was    required   tor      the      watershed.

"A  dead  man  was  lying  In  the  gutter 
of  one  of  the' busiest  street*  In  the  town 
while  his  wife  and  cliild  etood  by  with 
tear-stained  faces.  Half  dead  beggars 
lay  roumd  on  the  streets,  tovered  only 
with  bundles  of  rags,  such  scenes  are 
common  enough  to  attract  but  little 
attention   from  the  passers   by. 

"One  day  as  three  of  us  were  coming 
back  from  a  walk  in  Kuchen  we  saw  a 
crowd  gathered  about  a  little  group  of 
two  women  and  a  boy.  The  little  boy's 
mother  'was  trying  to  sell  him  to  the 
soldiers  for  2,000  cash.  Some  bystanders 
were  remonstrating  with  the  motflier 
for  selling  her  own  acn.  She  replied  that 
she  had  nothing  for  him  or  herself  to 
oat.  We  learned  that  there  werp  30  or 
•10  other  children  to  be  had  for  tlj*  ask-

Victoria's  annual  oat  stiow  concluded 
yesterday  afternoon.  There  was  a  good 
attendance  throughout  the  day  and  It  is 
believed  that  a  substantial  sum  was 
realised  for  the  fund  to  be  devoted  to 
the  founding  Of  a  hospital  for  domestic 
pets.  Some  of  the  finest  aristocrats  of 
the  feline  family  in  the  Northwest  were 
on  exhibition,  and  enthusiastic  admirers 
of  "pussy"  found  much  entertainment  in 
the  diopUy.  Mr.  K.  Large  gave  general 
satisfaction  in  the  rather  trying  task 
of  distributing    the    ribbons   of   merit. 

Yesterday  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Victoria  Cat  Club  was  held,  officers 
being    elected    as       follows:       President.

Avlatcw  J.  V.  Cavanagh  was  blUen 
to  give  an  exhibition  Hight  in  his  aero- 
plane yesterday  afternoon  at  the  ex- 
hibition grounds.  A  large  crowd  was 
attracted.  It  is  mild  criticism,  Indeed, 
to  say  that  few  of  those  present  went 
away  satisfied.  After  a  long  wait  the 
btrdman 'did  leave  the  ground,  but  he 
didn't  get  far.  The  machine  came  to 
grief  on  the  fence.  While  It  wat< 
Slightly  damaged,  its  driveir  escaped 
witl*out  Injury.  This,  of  course,  was 
the  end  of  the  affair.  Thohe  who  had 
gathered  expecting  to  witness  aviator 
Cavanaugii  ,piay  some  of  tb«  pranks 
of  the  eeaguU  dispersed  quieuy.  giv- 
ing the  performer  the  benefit  of  the 
belief  in  hi«  best  Intentiona.  Some. 
However,  wera  indined  to  insist  upon 
the  return  of  at  least  a  part  of  thier 
admission  fee.  But  they  didn't  receive 
«ufllKilent  support  to  make  it  uncom- 
Coriable  for  Mr.  Ca.v«naugh  and  those 
associated  -with  hi«n.

"A  house  decorated  with  HALL'S 
Sanitary  Washable  Distemper  is  well 
decorated. 

"  It  is  decorated  for  both  beauty  and 
health. 

"It  remains  clean,  sweety  and  fresh, 
because  Hall's  Distemper  is  washable, 
dust  and  germ  proof,  and  neither  fades 
nor  changes  colour. 

"No  other  wall  decoration  offers

I  Imiew  nv«iral  iraontii*  afo  that  plami 
were  beins  laid  to  aeoiir*  t))e  nomlna.-. 
tlon  of  TAX.  ft.  a.  Poofty,  ana  that  att 
the  efforts  of  the  executive  of  the  Con- 
servative AaiiOCtaUaii ;  W«re  being 
directed  to  that  <ind.  t  Juiew  that  at 
any  convention  that  miglht  be.  held 
there  would  nort  be  a  fair  expression 
of  the  opinion  of  the  Conservatives  of 
EsqulTOaJt.  but  that  the  convention 
would  be  called  and  held  whenever  and 
under  such  conditions  as  would  render 
it  impossible  for  anyone  except  Mr. 
Pooley  to  secure  a  nomination. 

Under  these  etrcumstanees  I  waa 
satisfied  that  the  maooer  In  which  I 
hdd  represented  the  constituency  would 
receive  no  consideration  at  the,.1ianda 


BUih  as  will  lead  you  to  desire  to  be 
represented  In  the  letrlBlature  by  one 
of  Ita  soUcltora.  You  are  not  all  cua- 
tomera  of  Llie  conipauy  and  you  have 
not  all  felt  the  Iron  hand  which  It  has 
upon  the  interesta  of  some  of  you;  but 
many  of  you  who  are  not  users  of  the 
water  know  the  Indlfferenco  with 
which  It  treated  the  public  while  It 
was  laying-  its  main  on  the  road  to 
•Metchoaln  and  fiooke.  The  Intolerable 
disregard  of  the  public  welfare  it  ex- 
hibited was  not  only  a  uource  of  great 
Iftutiiiveiiieiico  tttitl  danger  lu  iiiariy  of 
you,  but,  it  Is  estimated,  cost  the  prov- 
ince *30,000  which  might  otherwise 
have  been  spent  In  improving  the  roadrf 
In  the  district.  The  person  directly 
reaponsible  for  this  v.'aa  Mr.  Arthur 
Peat,  the  discharged  road-boss,  who, 
I  have  been  Informed,  has  been  prom- 
ised reinstatement  by  Mr."  Pooley  In 
the  event  of  his  being  elected. 

You  have  already  felt  and  are  now 
enjoying  benefits  resulting  from  the 
construction  of  the  Canadian  Northern 
Pacific  Railway,  but  these  are  nothing 
In  comparison  with  what  you  will  enjoy

of  a  majority  of  those  who  would  be

fore it  was  to  be  held,  up  to  which  time 
I, only  learned  casually  of  Mr.  Poole/a 
Intention  to  sumfrion  a  convention.  I 
had  no  opportunity  to  coiiBalt  with  my

would  be  submlttitoa  my  claim  for  yofitr

the  public's  mercy,  for  the  next  30  days.  This  sale  will  be  one  of  the 
greatest  merchandise  events  known  in  the  histor}'  of  Victoria,  as  we 
are  determined  to  turn  this  stock  over  to  the  people  at  a  great  loss, 
which  wilPmake  us,  with  our  matchless  enterprise  when  completed, 
forever  masters  of  the  clothing  field  on  VancouveJ"  Island.

a  trip  to  Sooke  was  stalled  at  Ooldatream

tho  ofncials  to  proceed.  That  loan  has 
never  been  returned.  Then  In  a  famine 
of  Stt»«oHne,  which  occurred  In  the  sum- 
met.  I  found  that  the  work  was  kept 
back'W  lack  of  gas.  and  that  In  our  ex- 
treiitift*  we  were  paying  four  times  the 
value.  I  took  both  autos  and  supplied 
them  from  my  stock,  and  went  without 
a  supply  myself.  Then  one  Sunday  the 
machine  used  by  the  street  cleaning  de- 
partment had  a  tire-  blow  out.  Thn  fol- 
lowing day  was  a  holiday.  The  Ann 
Uanailng  lliat  iJditlcular  brand  of  tire 
did  not  do  business  on  holidays.  I  let 
the  department  have  a  spare  tire  I  had 
fan  the  machine  was  particularly  needed 

lat   day.     Thus   for   the   third   time  as 
Irman  of   the  committee,    I   assisted

full  swing.  The  tf!x  Inmates  were  Uken 
to  the  police  station  and  charged  With 
gambling.  Ball  was  fixed  at  130  each, 
which  was  promptly  forthcoming. 

Three  entrances  led  Into  the  premises, 
which  ar^  locate^  upon  the*  ground 
floor.  The  pollc*;  had  laid  their  plans 
and  everything  was  ready  for  the  raid, 
supping  out  the  back  door  of  the  detec- 
tive office  in  the  Market  building,  the 
sleuths  were  making  their  way  through 
the  lot  at  the  rear  of  the  Market  build- 
ing towards  Flsguard  Street,  when  an 
Innocent  looking  Chinaman  on  the  latter 
thoroughfare  gave  the  signal,  which 
was  repeated  along  the  street.  The 
police  knew  they  had  been  discovered 
and  the  object  of  their  errand  suspected 
by  the  wily  Chinese.  Then  the  race 
commenced.  The  heavy  doors  were 
knocked  from  off  their  hinges  and  will 
be  produced  in  court  ak  evidence.

'  Tlough  there  is  no  denying  the  fact  btat 
the  Athletics  are  big  favorites  for  1912,  tlie 
otbar  sffvan  leaders  In  the  American  league 
dislike  the  idea  oC  being  counted  out  before 
,a  ball  haa  been  pitched.  Harry  Wolyer- 
ton,  the  new  pilot  of  the  Hillmen,  says  It 
will  go  hard  with  any  of  hla  men  who 
•uggeat  to  him  that  any  pitobcr  or  team 
has   the   Hlgl^landera'    number. 

NEW  TORK,  Uarch  IS.— Managers  of  the 
niapor  league  cluba  are  preparing  to  luspec*' 
$500,000  worth  of  baseball  talent.  This 
enormous  atim  of  money  has  iMien  invested 
in  a  ooli««itlon  .o!  bush  league  stars  who 
will  be  put  to  the  supreme  teat  In  the 
aouthern  training  quarters  this  month. 
After  the  wheat  haa  been  separated  from 
ttae   chaff   It   la   dottbtful    It   any    club   nnds 


mora  than  one  or  two  players  qualified 
for  fast  company,  no  matter  how  wosk  the 
big  league  team  may  be  or  liow  anxious 
the  manager  to  strengthen  Ills  nine.  Tlie 
American  leagUe  bought  outright  $147.1)113 
W'jrth  of  players  from  the  minors  last  ye«r, 
while  the  National  league  purchased  1186,- 
;.'S0  worth.  In  drai'tlug  )S8,6G0  was  ex-

in  the  big  iuague  benders,  and  Rube  Bviinv. 
the  Qlants'  southpaw  recruit  from  Dallas, 
Texas,  Is  the  inventor.  Bvans  throws  the 
"dry  spltter"  In.  exactly  the  same  manner 
that  tho  regular  spit  ball  Is  delivered  ex- 
cept that  he  does  not  moisten  It.  It  takes 
a  peculiar  wobbling  mutlun  and  Jumps  Just 
an  It  gets  to  the  batter.  Instead  of  brisak- 
hiK  Into  a  riglit-hanUed  baiter,  as  In  the 
euso  of  the  splt-ball,  It  takes  an  outward 
and  upward  Jump  that  Is  very  puzallng.

Ituba    Marquard.  ' 

There  are  more  than,10,006  "men  playing

Brandon,  Uooae  Jaw  and  tV'lunlpeg  have 
been  given  to  March  16  to  settle  some  claims

fall  to  come  around  by  that  time  the  leagus 
will  hold  the  territory  dead  for  the  cbmTi^g

May  2  and  close  September  I.  and  the  sal-

the  years  tlicy  have  been  there,  they  have  never  lost  a  log,  and  they  raft  them  all  from

'  What  niakes  ti^s  high  price,  you  ask?  The  answer  is'the  tUxiiate  and  the  scenic  view  from  practicaily 
every  point  on  tjie  peninsula.  Rich  and  well-to-do  people  are  settling  up  this  country.  The  natural  result  is 
a  prosperous  city  to  cater  to  their  material  wants.  r 

The  B.  C.  Electric  Railway  have  virtvially  decided  to  tap  this  community  with  their  new  extension. 
You  certainly  realize  what  this  means  to  a  growing  town.  It  means  the  doubling  and  trebling  of  real  estate 
values. 

The  ritizer*?  of  Sidney  are  going  to  apply  to  the  go  '■ernment  for  a  municipal  charter  and  when  that  is 
granted  they  will  install  a  water  system  capable  of  supplying  a  city  of  5,000  people  and  with  the  plans  for 
sewerage  and  the  coming  of  the  B.  C.  Electric  with  cheap  pow«r  and  light,  Sidney  will  become  the  commer- 
ciail  centre  of  the  lower  peninsula. 

Plans  are  already  under  way  for  an  addition  of  forty  rooms  to  Dr.  Cummings'  beautiful  sanitorium.  This 
is  one  of  the  finest  retreats  on  the  Island  and  is  ably  managed. ^ 

Plans  for  a  new  commercial  hotel  to  commodate  the  increasing  business,  are  now  being  considered. 

JhJew  business  buildings  are  going  up  and  the  spirit  of  progress  and  development  have  taken  hold  of  the 
fitizens.

VULO 


It  was  a  glorious  day.  The  sea,  very  blue 
and  whipped  into  wavelets  by  a  good  breeze, 
sparkled  beneath  the  sun's  rays;  the  snow- 
capped mountains  on  the  fiirthcr  side  of  the 
Narrows  looked  majestic  and  clear  cut;  the 
cloud  of  trees  upon  B  rockton  Point  pushed 
themselves  forward  as  though  anxious  to 
meet  the  dancing  blue  water,  and  the  training 
ship  iigeria  presented  a  pretty  spectacle 
against  such  a  glorious  background,  making 
the  very  best  of  her  white  hull  and  picturesque 
rigging. 

The  order  to  qease  rowing  was  given  when 
stil  Isome  distance  from  the  training  ship,  and 
the  boys  had  their  oars  out  of  the  water  in  a 
moment  , while  the  photographer  focussed  the 
Egeria  and  her  environment  and  snapped  the 
picture  ready  for  reproduction  upon  this  page 
today.  "Siic  cost  us  altogether  $7,800,  and 
she  is  worth  at  any  rate  $30,000  even  to  break 
up,  quite  apart  from  her  value  as  a  training 
ship  ,2and — what  is  more — she  is  sound  and 
capable  of  going  to  any  part  of  the  world  to- 
day," vouchsafed  Captain  Etldie,  as  tlie  boys 
pulled  round  the  vessel's  stern,  beneath  the 
Canadian  merchant  flag — the  Union  Jack  flics 
.It  the  bow — to  the  gangway. 

And  before  going  on  board  to  watch  the 
1  sadat  work  it  will  i)c  wort!)  while  to  recall  to 
the  genesis  of  tliis  Egeria  training  ship  move- 
ment, giving  credit  where  crdit  is  due,  to 
those  who  have  made  a  start  possble.  Cap- 
tain Eddie  himself  has  been  advocating  the 
idea  for  upwards  of  eight  years,  in  season  and 
out  of  season. 


A  great  impetus  was  given  to  the  move- 
ment four  or  five  years  ago  when  it  was  real- 
ized that  there  was  much  difficulty  in  man- 
ning with  competent  ,British  seamen  ships 
sailing  out  fro  mB.  C.  ports.  Vessels — both 
windjammers  and  steamers — lost  many  men 
from  their  crews.  The  life  of  the  west,  with 
its  varied  allurements  and  its  good  pay,  for 
unskilled  labor,  tempted  many  men  to  desert 
their  ships.  And — more  than  this — there  was 
an  organized  sj'stem  under  which  men  were 
induced  to  desert  their  ships  upon  arriving,  in 
order  that  they  might  be  taken  on  on  other 
ships  wanting  men  at  a  considerable  premi- 
um. This  crimping  system  led  to  a  commis- 
sion, and,  although  the  evidence  was  not 
made  known  at  the  time,  it  was  ultimately 
published,  and  the  revelations  took  even  ship- 
ping circles  by  surprise. 

It  became  clear  to  men  "in  the  know" — 
such  men  as  Captain  Eddie  and  those  associ- 
ated with  him — that  there  must  be  a  system- 
atic training  of  the  youth  in  order  that  a  sup- 
ply of  competent  men  could  be  found  in  the 
port  itself.  And  a  training  ship,  as  well  as  a 
good  boarding  house  for  seamen  without  any 
suggestion  of  crimping  about  it,  was  gn  the 
programme  of  the  social  reformers  four  or 
five  years  ago.  Those  who  liad  the  matter  in 
hand  had  the  advantage  of  the  services  of  a 
then  new  arrival.  Mr.  J.  Francis  Bursill,  v.ho 
in  his  journalistic  and  setni-]nibiic  career  in 
London  had  been  a  frequent  visitor  to  the 
Shaftesbury  Conway,  Worcester  and  Dread-

THE     VICTORIA     COLONIST 


8und«y,    March    17,    1912 


MeiniMffectiiiiirnM  € 


Until  within  a  comparatively  brief  period, 
Victoria  has  been  almost  universally  reg;arded 
as  a  city  which  would  have  to  rely  for  its 
growth  and  progress  upon  the  advantages  it 
possesses  as  a  residential  city — its  climate, 
beauty  of  environment,  and  general  attractive- 
ness being  such  as  to  ensure  a  steady  incre- 
ment to  its  population. 

While  all  that  has  ever  been  said  as  to  the 
unquestioned  great  future  which  the  city  has 
because  of  these  reasons,  remains  true,  it  is  to- 
day jwst  as  universally  admitted  it  has  the 
bfis^M  i»jBie»8jiftr  i^  to  become  a  great 

m^0^ill^i^Vl0 ,  <B#^lir  various  factors  in"  ~.  the ' 

atc^ttracy  of  tliis  judgnieAt. 

JProximity  to  markets  ^availabiHty.  o£  raw 
nialerial,  facility  of  transport,  labor  and  cheap 
jpower  are  perhaps  the  most  important  thicg^ 
to  be  considered  when  attempting  to  compute 
the  chances  of  any  particular  city  succeeding 
as  a  manufacturing  centre,  and  if  Victoria  be 
measured  by  this  standard  of  requirements,  it 
will  be  seen  that  it  can  make  out  an  excep- 
tionally ^  strong  case. 

In  respect  to  the  proximity  of  markets,  it 
can  be  affirmed,  in  the  first  place,  that  with 
the  rapid  inpouring  of  population  to  this  great 
province,  the  home  market  itself  will  very 
shortly  be  a  huge  one ;  but  when  one  considers 
what  may  be  the  effect  of  the  awakening   of 


China,  with 


hundreds  of  millions 


i%: 


'A    '     ^ 


Its  teemmg 

of  inhabitants,  surely,  when  the  geographical 
position  of  Victoria  is  considered,  it  will  be 
seen  that  it  has  the  best  of  reas6ns  for  striv 
ijnlg^^lo  Build  up  manufacturing  iridustries. 

As  for  raw  material,  the  Island  itself  is 
rich  in  all  the  prime  resources  which  enter 
into  manufactured  articles;  and,  furthermore, 
ai  the  city  is  situated  in  the  very  gateway  of 
all  the  ocean  going  traffic  which  plies  on  the 
btoad  Pacific,  il  is  cleai:  th{^t  its  position  is 
uorivaljed  in' respect  to  th^  securing  of  an 
abondftQce  of  raw  materials. 
. :  While  it  may  hp  tttn?  that  in  respect  to  a 
supply  of  tftl^or  to  com{>ete  with  other  large 
manufactttrini^  centres  Victoria  is  handicap|>ed 
at  pr(«setiit,  iivitii  pi^pulatipn'  constantly  iti' 
creasing  on  the  coast  it  can  be  co&jectu'red 
with  some  show  of  r<^ason  that  this' factor  *'«ll 
be  adjusted  at  no  df^taiit  dite  to  the  best  in- 
tea-ests  of  the  city. 

Possibly  the  one  factor  in  the  situation,  the 
absence  of  "^which  has  hitherto  militated  ag^ 
ainst  the  (iity's  d&pirati6n  to  advance  in  iban- 
ufactttres,  is  tthat  of  cbitap  power ;  but  with 
the  waiters  { of  Jtx^^-Hiver  now  harnessed 
tnrouglt  tht'  enterprise  of  tiiciBiC.  Electric 
Railway  Company  this  disability  has  been  re- 
moved. 

And  although  but  a  comparatively  brief 
period  has  elapsed  .since  the  electi'ic  power  de- 
veloped at  that  sourte  has  been  rendered  avail- 
able for  transmission  to  the  city,  the  increase 
in  the  number  of  services  installed  by  the 
company  to  meet  the  demands  of  factories  and 
otlier  industries  which  are  being  established, 
demonstrates  better  than  any  mere  argument 
that  Victoria  is  rapidly  assuming  a  place  ant- 
ong  the  manufacturing  centres  on  the  Pacific 
coast. 

Through  the  courtesy  of  Mr.  S.  J.  Halls, 
manager  of  the  light,  and  power  department 
of  the  B  .C.  Electric*  Railway  Company,  the 
Colonist  is  enabled  to  present  some  very  per- 
tinent data  on  this  subject — a  complete  list  of 
the  power  services  in  this  city ;  and  a  perusa) 
of  the  same  .will  coqse  as  a  revelatfbn  to'  mof^ 
readers,  the  large  nuiotiber  of  infant  toduatjrfis 
making  a  fealty  imposing,  ^howiiog,  all  tHnf^ 
being  considered.  '  *,  \. 

As  shovrin^  the  rapid  strides  which  the 
dty  is  making  fn  the  direction  indicated  it  may 
:tie  stated  that  for  the  year  1909  the  total 
Ipirse  power  in  services  by  the  confpginy  was 
r,624;  in  1910,  ,1973,;  ^nd  In J9ihjy^^  M 
anticipated  that  this  latter  H^ft^imhi'' 
ily  doabled  dttring  the  IJ^resent  ye&r.

taiice  of  about  20  mlies  to  the' source  of  the 
inafn.p¥«r|it  Jordan  Meadows,  which  lie  about 


miiiSr^^feHtt'ween  the  east  and  west  coasts  of 
the  Island  at  an  elevation  of  about  2300  feet 
above  sea  level. 

Three  large  tributary  streams  enter  the 
river  in  the  upper  ten  miles  of  its  source;,  Be^r,, 
Creek  and  Alligator  Creek,  from  the  east  and 
"Y"  Creek  from  the, west, Xo.rw«£a  large  area 
-Jai.  high,  level  watfif|mf>i^^^i^fai^^ii^^^Syt>t^Bg 
point,  the  rw^^gB^^tom  which 'is  alt  available 


for  power  pi 

The  entire  watershed  is_ well  wooded  with , 
a  heavy  grovyth  of  fir,  hemlock  and  cedar  tim- 
ber,  and    at    the   higher   levels   receives   each- 
year  a  heavy  covering  of  snow  from  4  to 7  feet,: 
111  depth,  which  is  gradually  dissipated  in  the . 
spring  and  does  not  entirely  disappear  until 
well  into  June,  retarding  the  flood  discharge 
in  the  winter  sea.son,  and  giving  off  its  waters 
in  the  late  spring  and  early  summer. 

The  average  precipitation  over  the  water- 
shed, as  measured  for  the  past  four  seasons,  is 
about  80  inches. 

The  possibilities  of  power  development  at 
the  Jordan  River  were  first  investigated  by 
Mr.  Meredith,  Consulting  Engineer  for  the 
B.  C.  Electric  Railway  Co.,  in  1907,  at  which 
time  preliminary  surveys  showing  the  physi- 
cal features  of  the  country  were  made  by  Mr. 

A.  B.  Carey,  under  Mr.  Meredith's  direction, 
and  steps  taken  to  obtain  accurate  data  as  to 
rainfall  and  run-off  on  the  watershed.  These 
observations  were  continued  for  a  period  of 
two  complete  cycles  of  seasons,  and  it  was  de- 
termined that  the  watershed  with  the  storage 
sites  which  had  been  discovered  and  the  run- 
off observed,  would  amply  warrant  the  devcl- 
.'inient  of  the  stream  for  power  purposes. 

24,000  Horse  Power  Planned 
In  Septc   ilicr.   lyog.  Messrs.  .Sanderson  & 
Porter  were    pmmissioncd  as  engineers  by  the 

B.  C.  Electric  Railway  Company,  to  instal  the 
Jordan  River  (leveU>ptnciU,  which  was  well  ad- 
vanced in  September,  kmi.  The  work  was 
done  under  the  direction  of  Wynn  Meredith,  of 
Messrs.  Sanderson  &  Porter,  as  consulting  en- 


gineer, and  E.  E.  Carpenter,  resident  engineer. 

The  project  as  originally  planned  co:: 
plated  the  ultimate  installation  at  the  jj.  ..l. 
house  of  machinery  to  generate  24,000  horse 
power,  and  with  this  ultimate  capacity  of  plant 
in  mind,  the  various  features  of  the  work  have 
been  dcvigned  and  installed. 

It  was  seen  at  the  beginning  of  the  investi- 
gation that  large  storage  capacity  would  be 
necessary  to  impound  the  flood  waters  of  the 
stream  for  use  at  the  generating  station,  dur- 
ing the  dry  season  of  the  year.  Fiij^^.f^j.  con- 
\  ditioned  sites  for  storage  reservoirs  fce^  found 
in  the  meadows  and  Hats  along  the  upper 
;  reaches  of  the  river,  affordtne^  amnle  stu 
For  the  u|timat«|  plant  output.  One  im»o«ii .  . 
dam  is  now  about  complete  at  Bear  Creek  re 
servoir,  and  the  remaining  reservoirs  will  be 
constructed  as  additional  generating  units  are 
installed  at  the  power  house,  to  meet  the  in- 
creasing power  requirements  of  the  city. 

The  dam  consists  of  a  wide  embankment  of 
earth  55  feet  maximum  in  height,  about  1000 
feet  in  length  across  the  valley  and  contain- 
ing about  150,000  cubic  yards  of  earth. 

Upon  exploring  the  foundations  for  the 
dam,  it  was  found  that  the  top  of  the  slate  bed- 
rock underlying  the  valley  was  from  50  to  75 
feet  below  the  surface  ,and  steps  were  at  onte 
taken  to  instal  a  watertight  curtain  in  the  base 
of  the  dam  to  prevent  the  flow  of  water  under- 
neath  the  structure.     Interlocking  steel  sheet 


piling  of  proper  length  was  driven  with  pile- 
drivers  to  pierce  the  bedrock  along  the  entire 
length  of  the  base  of  the  dam,  forming  an  ab- 
solutely watertight  gteel  diaphragm. 

The  material  in  the  dam  is  being  placed 
hydraulically.  The  earth  in  the  hillside  is  dis- 
placed with  streams  of  water  under  pressure 
and  conveyed  to  the  dam  and  placed  with 
flowing  water.  Pipe  lines  were  constructed^ 
monitors  placed,  a  pumping  plant  consisting  of 
200  h.p.y  of  boilers  and  engpines  connected  to 
drive  two  3-stage  turbine  pumps,  was  installed, 
timber  flumes  were  built  to  carry  the  earth 
from  the  burrow  pits  to  the  dam  and  the  work 
of  sluicing  was  started  about  Septemb^  i, 
191 1.  At  this  date,  the  .placing  of  car^h  in 
the  dam  is  proceeding  .at  the  rate  of  lood  cubic 
yards  daily,  some*  130,000  cubic  yards  of  rak- 
terial  having  been  plated,  and  it  is  anticipated 
that  the  darn  will  be  completed  early  in  .\pril. 
in  ample  tiine  to  afford  a  full,  reservoir  ^l 
stored  water  for  the  summer  of  191  A,        --

tht  iiUfiOunded  water  will  be- some  t^ree' miles 
in  length  and  abont  400  acres  in  extent. 

At  a  point  about  tien  miles  up  from  the 
mouth  oi  the  river  and  at  an  elevation  of  about 
laoo  feet,  a  substantial  diverting  dam-'^^'as 
thfovfrn  across  t4t«  river  to  divert  th^  xvsi^irf^ 
into  a  flume  which  v^as  erected  a]ong  the  side - 
oj  th©  canyon  for  a  distance  of  six  miles. 

In  -the^  constntction  of  the  flume  about 
SjQSfO/xjd  feet  B.jM.,  pi  lumber  were  used,  wh»c!i 
was  all  supplied  from  a  saw  mill  .erectttS-  hy 
the  company  on  the  top  of  the  ridge  on  the 
lower  end  of  the  flume.  The  mill  Wl^tibpr- 
oughly-  ttp-to-date  in  every  respect,  siH^a- 
pacity  of  about  30,000  fee^r  B.M.,  per  Ip^^d 
eqiftipped  with  j^aners,  gaining  machines  and 
other  wood.'working  maehlncry.  The  total 
amount  <5f  lumber  cut  in  this  mill  for  the  en- 
tire construction  works  was  about  6,000,000 
feet  B.M. 

To  facilitate  the  construction  of  the  flume, 
a  3oin.  gauge  tramway  was  constructed  paral- 
lel with  the  flume  line  and  at  an  elevation  of 
about  15  feet  above  it.  Llumher  and  other  ma- 
terial for  the  flume,  as  well  as  for  the  diverting 
dam  and  for  all  the  works  in  the  upper  water- 
4fted,  were  delivered  by  means  of  this  tram- 


I 


way,  which  connects  directly  with  an  inclined 
tramway  of  the  same  gauge,  some  two  miles  in 
length,  having  its  lower  terminus  at  the  wharf 
on  the  foreshore  at  Jordan  River.  The  opera»- 
tion  of  the  inclined  tramway  is  accomplished  by 
means  of  a  powerful  haulage  engine  at  the  top 
and  a  second  haulage  engine  at  the  bottom,  so 
that  the  car  may  be  moved  in  either  direction 
at  any  point  along  the  line.  The  total  11. V  ac- 
complished in  the  length  of  the  tramway  is 
1200  feet. 

The  Flume  Box 

The  flume  box  is  6  feet  in  width,  5  feet  in 
depth,  and  will  deliver  ample  water  for  four 
generating  units  with  an  aggregate  capacity  of 
24,000  h.  p.,  when  running  full. 

The  water  from  tlic  flume  is  discharged  into 
the  forebay,  or  balancing  reservoir,  situated 
on  the  ridge  about  two  miles  distant  and  1200 
feet  in  elevation  above  the  power  house. 

Tlie  reservoir  site  consist.i^  of  two  small 
valleys  leading  in  opposite  directions  and  sep- 
arated by  a  saddle. 

Two  earth  dams,  one  at  cither  end,  were 
built,  the  material  for  them  being  excavated 
from  the  higher  ground  between.  These  em- 
iiankments  are  alioui  35  feet  in  height  and 
1000  feet  in  length  each,  and  contaiii  an  ag- 
gregate of  about  600,000  cubic  yards  of  earth. 

Double  planked,  watertight  diaphragms  of 
cedar  timber  connecting  at  the  ground  with 
concrete  core  walls  were  provided  to  insure 
watertightncss.  The  reservoir  Vi'hen  full  will 
hold  about  5,000,000  cubic  feet  of  wate^.  suf- 
ficient to  operate  one  6000  h.p.  generating  unit

does  so  against  the  young  lady's  will,  and  is 
;  obliged  to  drug  her  to  overcome  her  .strug-

they  have  thought  would  be  their  last  day 
on  earth,  they  see  the  army  of  reinforcements 
and  signal  to  them. 

In  spite  of  all  Ratcliff  has  done  for  the  girl 
she  still  remains  distrustful  and  fearful  though 
because  he  seems  her  only  friend  she  con- 
sents to  marry  him  when  they  are  once  more 
safely  established  at  a  post  in  the  hills.  For 
a  brief  while,  the  young  st>ldier  knows  the 
joy  of  heaven,  feeling  confident  that  in  time 
he  can  win  her  love  and  confidence,  when 
.something  happens  that  causes  the  girl  to 
hireak  the  engagement.  She  returns  to  Eng-

While  her  mother  was  saying  "Come  here

body else  was  pretending  not  to  have  heard, 
Dave  got  tfp  and  landed  his  chair  to  Mrs. 
Balkwell.  "Plea-se  to  take  a  seat,"  he  said, 
"I  be  sorry  you  should  have  come  when  'tis

"Whose  side  might  y JU  be  on,  please?"

methods  which  take  the  student  directly  to  the 
study  of-  repertoir.e  without  any  previous  vocal 
flrill.  The  voice,  to  be  valuable  to  the  singer, 
nuist  be  able  to  stand  the  wear  and  tear  of 
many  seasons.  It  is  often  some  years  before 
the  young  singer  is  able  to  achieve  real  success, 
arid  the  profits  come  with  the  later  years.  A 
voice  that  is  not  carefully  drilled  and  trained  so 
that  the  singierktiQiws  how  to  get  thc'most  out

est  thing,  Getting  the  vdicte  prtji^y^  gained  is 
the  diffieult  tbing.  .  ^  the  sttidy  oi^rfepertoirc 
the  singer  often  makes  the  mistake^  of  leaping 
right  into  the  most  difficult  roles.  SJie  should 
start  with  the  simpler  roles,  such  a?^  those  of

THE  STRAND  AND  ITS  HISTORY 

"The  Annals  of  the  Strand/'  by  E.  Berei- 
ford  Chancellor.     . 

Few  strangers  sec  the  Strand  fo  the  Itrsjt 
time  without  some  sense  of  disappointoient. 
The  street  figures  so  much  in  our  generiL 
literary,  and  artistic  history,  it  is  so  fttll  of 
piquant  memories  and  interesting^  associations, 
smd  yet  it  hardly  satisfies.  It  hasri^eased  iniie 
the  street  of  theatres.  The  shd^^|:  a^e 
has  shifted  further  west,  and  one  mJ^i|  ;hins 
alike  the  fervent  Mammon-worsMp^ol  the^ly 
and  the  vivacious  bustle  of  the  West-end;  Still, 
the  Strand  improves  on  clo.ser  ac^t^iintance. 
Not  a  little  of  its  old-iworld  chiuractir  survives^,

^P^rhapis  St.  Patrick's  conversion  of  Ireland 
docs:  iJOt  come  under  the  head  of  British 
adhieVemeAt,  but  it  makes  jm  interesting  and 
timei^  story;  so  we  will  give  it  in  a  few  words 
tod»r. 

St.' Fatrick  (Patricious)  was  born  in  Kil- 
patric^,  Scotland,  in  373,  and  died  near  Ar^ 
magh,  Ireland,  in  493-  When  Patrick  was  a 
lad  of  sixteen  he  was  carried  off  by  pirates 
and^d  to  a  chieftain  in  Ulster;  who  employed 
hittititir>teadittg  theflocks'and  herds.  Here  he 
rema|n<^l  for  six  years,  and  at  the  end  of  that 
time  SfiaiS  enabled  to  make  his  escape.  He  went 
tOi  France  to  enter  the  religious  life,  for  he  had 
always  been  a  dreamer  of  dreams./and  his  life 
of  solitude  on  the  hills  gave  him  ample  leisure 
tcl  reflect  Upon  human  life  in  its  many  aspect*, 
Vand  tended  to  inspire  him  with  a  love  for  ti\t 
beiii^lul  gmd  mysterious,  so  that  he  saw  won- 
deiiiluff  visions,  visions  which  moved  htm  to 
try  jindti^lift  the  people  about  him  that  they 
too  jafehtJiave  a  taste  of  the  higher  joys  which 

yii9^'W»'-~mcp- ;:-■'-'■  '■   ■  '■■■■•■  ■■  ■'"■■ 

1M^  he  had  been  Ordained  si 

bhi&it;^;,  h«  went. back 'to  the  country  he  had 
1<^^  to  work  ampng  the  people  he  had  learned 
ta  bfow  and  to  love  in  his  youth. 

It  wa£^  in  the  year  432  that  Patrick  landpd 
upot»  th^  l^sad.  ^'By  that  time  iomt  few  of 
the  ii^abitantd  may  possibly  have  heard  of 
the  Christian  religion  from  the  neighborlii|f 
Briton  or^ftttl  .  .  .  bttt  it  «Ay  be  said^tha* 
Ireland  had  continued  in  the  same  state  for 
thoQssnds  of  years;  the  Druids  in  possession 
of  reltgiotts  and  |K;ien6fic  attpremacy ;  the  chief- 
tains in  contention  as  in  the  time  of  Fingal 
and  Ossian :  the  people,  though  in  the  midst 
of  strife,  hapi^y  enough  on  their  rich  soil, 
cheered1)y  their  bards  and  poets  .  .  .  all  per- ; 
meated  with  a  strong  attachment  to  their  clan-, 
=vstem>a»d  social  customs^ 


some,  dashing"  hero  of  her  dreams,  who  in 
due  time  propoijes  to  her  moved  by  her  lone- 
liness and  her  loveliness.  But  there  is  no 
lov«j  on  either  side.  Her  fiance  is  infatuated 
with  bis  cousin,  who  is  the  wife  of  his  friend, 
and  the  girl  cannot  get  rid  of  the  memory  of 
Ratcliff,  whose  strange  power  over  her  has 
frightened  her  so  much  from  the  first.  Then 
Ratcliff  is  ordered  home,  having  been  badly 
wounded  in  a  frontier  skirmish.  His  arm 
has  been  amputated,  and  we  now  behold  the 
soldier  as  ugly  as  ever»  "his  face  seamed  in 
a  thousand  tiny  wrinkles,  and  burned  to  the 
color  of  leather,  undersized,  with  white  hair 
and  eyelashes,  and  tainus  a  good  right  arm.". 
It  is  vei5'''interesting  to  follow  his  love 
story,  and  very  satisfactory  to  find  that  he 
wins  out  in  the  end.

The  above  is  quoted  from  Thiebaud*s  "His- '

than   350  churches  in  Ireland,  and  baptized 
with  his  own  hand    12,000    persons.     Many 
miracles  are  ascribed  to  him.

IN  THE  WORLD  OF  BOOKS 

"The  Wav  of  an  Eagle,"  by  E.  M.  Dell, 
The  Copp,  Clark  Co..  Toronto.  We  have  all 
become  so  accustomed  to  having  our  heroes 
of  romance  dashing  ,stalwart  and  handsomie 
that  it  requires  courage  on  the  part  of  an  au- 
thor to  go  entirely  opposite  the  convention.s. 
and  introduce  as  "the  hero  of  his  little  tale" 
a  man  without  any  of  the  above  named  qual- 
ities, though  the  intrepidity  and  daring  of 
Xick  Ratcliff,  in  Dr.  Bell's  book,  are  far  better 
than  the  empty  dash  of  those  whose  "words 
are  more  than  will." 

Ratcliff  is  an  officer  in  the  Indian  army 
.It  the  time  of  the  opening  of  the  story,  and 
the  company  of  which  he  is  a  member  is  hnUi- 
ing  a  frontier  fort  against  an  overwhelming 
majority  of  hostile  tribesmen,  anxiously  awnit- 
ing  reinforcements,  which  arc  so  long:  in  com- 
ing that  all  the  garrison  has  been  killed  or 
caplurcM   V      Mie  time   tliey  arrive      -MI,   whh 


some  reptite,  and  a  couple  of  his  West-Coun 
try  ^shermen  friends.    The  different  chapters 
are  a  sort  of  discussion  on  the  jpblttical  affairs 
ot  the  day^  and  give  an  adequate  idea  of  the 
British  workineman's  point  of  view,  being  a 
;  candid  expression  or  his^pmions.  -  Whuc  iiap- 
;  pitVt^r^kih^  condition  bf  affairs  is  not  pre;- 
'  vafent'  vrith  us  in  this  country,  we  are  deeply 
interested  in  all  thai;  concerns  the  Mother- 
land^   The  best  part  of  our  immigrant  class 
comes  from  the  British  Isles,  and  they  bring 
their  oWn  much  pondered  over  theories  rela- 
,  tive  of  iliie  wbrld^  and  things  with  them.    In

fSB  STORY  OF  FRANCE 


IV. 


The  conquest  of  Gaul  by  Julius  Caesar  was 
a  turning  point  in  the  history  of  that  country 
and  of  Rome  as  well.  Caesar  sought  the  of- 
fice of  pro-consul  in  the  Gallic  provinces, 
which  then  embraced  only  the  southeastern 
part  of  the  country,  anci  Northwestern  Italy, 
a,nd  was  g»v«n  ihe  place  for  five  years,  his 
t«il«(re  bt  "^ffic^  bei9g  subscaiiently  extended 
hy  the  S«iiate  i6  ten  yeairs.  He  Wad  atso  gived 
i^  legrionsi  amohg  them  being  the  famous 
T^nth  Legion,  whose  feats  of  arms  he  has 
-Commemorated.  Whether  be  was  ambitious  of 
conquest  or  was  forced  into  hostilities  by  the 
restlessness  of  their  neighboring  people  must 
remain  a  matter  of  doubt,  but  he  had  not  long 
b««n  invested  with  his  new  authority  before 
he  was  at  war.  lie  exhibited  his  policy  in  his 
dealings  with  the  Helvetii.  This  race  inhab- 
ited the  mountains  of  S^vitzerland.  ,  Nothing 
is  known  of  their  origin.  They  first  appear  in 
history  about  loo  B.C.,  when  they  were  set- 
tlted  on  the  frontier  of  Trans-Alpine  Gaul,  hut 
without  invading  the  country.  Later  they  be- 
gan to  feel  the  pressure  of  the  advancing 
hordes  of  Germans,  and  influenced  in  part  by 
this  and  in  part  by  a  desire  to  settle  in  the 
more  favorable  climate  of  southwestern  Gaul, 
they  resolved  to  emigrate  en  masse.  In  58  H. 
C,  they  burned  their  twelve  tovifna  and   four 


tie  four  thousand  of  them  were  slain,  and  the 
remainder  of  the  tribe,  numbering  fifty-six 
tliousand  men,  women  and  children  were  sold 
into  slavery.  The  Eburons  were  wholly  ex- 
terminated. Another  tribe,  whom  Caesar  does 
not  name,  were  punished  by  each  man  hav- 
ing his  hands  cut  off  and  being  sent  to  wan- 
der through  the  country  as  a  living  witness 
of  the  vengeance  of  Rome. 

But  even  these  cruelties  did  not  repress  the 
indepemleiit  a|||ri^,of  the  pepiiiet  and  a  gf!^ 
rebeUion  s«ose»;|ietded  py.  «4<ader  whose  rc«l 
tiame  has  not  come  down  to  us,  but  «r^o  is 
called  Vercengetorix  by  Caesar,  because  he 
was  chief  of  a.  hundred  jcbtefs. ;  The  stoJiy  ol 
the  struggle  which  ensued  cannot  be  told  in 
detail.  It  was  a  splendid  exhibition  of  cour- 
age on  the  part  of  the  Gaul.%  and  of  skill  on 
the  part  of  the  Romans.  Caesar  never  before 
or  after  met  a  foeman  so  worthy  of  him  as 
Vercengetorix,  who  was  a  young  man  of  mag- 
nificent appearance,  great  strength,  much 
skill  as  a  soldier  and*  dauntless  courage.  He 
was,  however,  no  match  in  military  genius 
for  his  competitor,  and  his  soldiers,  brave 
though  they  were,  could  not  withstand  the 
disciplined  forces  of  Rome.  The  war  termin- 
ated with  the  capture  of  Alesia  by  the  Ro- 
mans. Vercengetorix  had  occupied  that  city 
with  about  80,000  men  and  was  besieged  in  it 
by  Caesar  with  a  somewhat  smaller  force. 
Caesar  says  that  250.000  Gauls  advanced   to 


despised  them,  and  they  were  fiercely  resent- 
ful of  the  open  favor  shown  them  by  their 
sovereign.  In  conse<|uence  of  this  one  vety 
dramatic  event  took  place. 

It  had  been  i'sammetichus'  custom,  since 
he  had  placed  the  Greek  mercenaries  in  ser- 
vcie  at  home  to  garrison  the  outposts  with 
native  troops  against  the  attacks  of  Assyrians, 
Libyans  and  Ethiopians.  These  native  troops 
were  the  Mashuasha,  picked  bodies  Of  men, 
and  remained  at  their  distant  >t?itijOtts  for  a 
year  at;  a  time,  .  S^ch  an  es^ciWis  lonely 
irnd  ittprtotc^iiB  erio'ttgh,  but  #hin  the  King 
appajrently  forglOt  all  »bpul  th*m,  and  left 
thein  /or  three  years  without  sending  troops 
IS  relieve '  iUtia,  the  garrison  sbl'dSers,  always 
dissatisfied,  decided  to  leave  the  service  of 
the  King.  So,  on  a  certain  summer,  day,  two 
hundred  and  forty  thousand  Egyptian  soldiers 
assembled  together  to  march  to  Ethiopia,  and 
quit  the  land  of  their  birth,  the  land  of  their 
father's  power. 

Psammetichus  had  heard  of  what  was 
about  to  happen,  and  with  only  a  handful  of 
followers  he  made  haste  to  overtake  the  army 
of  men  on  their  journey  to  the  country  of  his 
enemy.  He  came  face  to  face  with  them  on 
a  plain  where  they  were  encamping  for  the 
night.  He  was  a  goodly  King,  and  he  had 
always  been  the  idol  of  his  soldiers,  but  the 
wound  was  deep  in  the  breasts  of  those  who 
had  been  so  long  exiled  in  favor  of  "the  brazen 


men,  and  when  he  pleaded  wTtTi  them  by" 
their  .old  time  love  for  him,  they  were  silent 
and  unmoved;  when  he  besought  them  not 
to  desert  their  national  gods,  and  incur  their 
everlasting  enmity,  they  remained  coldly  in- 
different; but  when,  witli  tears  in  his  eyes, 
he  spoke  of  the  loneliness  and  the  suffering 
of  the  wives  and  children  they  were  leaving 
behind  them,  the  hearts  of  the  soldiers  almost 
relented.  Then  one  of  their  leaders  spoke  up 
with  a  loud  voice,  and  cried  that  while  man- 
hood lasted  they  might  found  other  families 
and  make  other  homes,  but  time  could  never 
restore  their  dead  faith  in  a  traitor-king.  And 
so,  in  the  very  face  of  the  Pharaoh,  the  Mas- 
huasha packed  their  tents  and  continued  their 
march,  and  Egypt  never  saw  them  again. 

THE    UNCHANGEABLE  PAST 

There  is  an  old  song  beginning  with  these 
lines: 

"How  very  easily  things  go  wrong, 
A  sigh  too  much  or  a  kiss  too  long, 
And  life  is  never  the  same  again." 

Correspondents  last  week  interested  us  all 
in  the  consideration  of  Dryden's  lines : 
"Not  Heaven  itself  o'er  the  past  hath  power.; 
What  has  been  has  been  and  we've   had  our 
hour." 

The  most  tremendous  fact  in  our  existence 
is  th  tt  life  pivots  upon  seetning  trifles  and  that 
th'  past  is  i.nchartgeablc.  Living  would  be 
unbearable  if  we  thought  of  this  too  much; 
yet  it  is  wise  to  think  of  it  sometimes.  For- 
tunately most  people  have  an  instinctive  sense 
that  <bertain  times- and  actions  are  critkal  in 
theii'  nature,  and  therefore  take  thought  be- 
fore they  act;  hevertheless  we  would  all  be 
ranch  the  better  if  we  reflettcd  more  than  we 
do  upon  the  impossibility  olf  fecalling  the  days 
that  have  been  and  living  thenl  over  again. 

The  relation  of  cause  and  effect  is  one  of 
the  accepted  canons  of  philosophy ;  but  we 
should  be  careful  to  distinguish  between  this 
and  a  mere  sequence  of  events.  "  There  is ,  a 
school  of  teachers  who  would  have  Us  believe 
that  our  lives  are  a  ichatn  ol  events,  the  links 
of  which  are  forged  together  by  Fate,  arid 
that  we  shall  struggle  in  vain  to  free  ourselves 
from  thcai;  ThU. theory  is  often  relied  on  as 
an  excuse  for  wfongdoiug,  and  oftener  still  as 
a  reason  why  no  effort  should  be  made  to  im- 
prove ttpon  the  past.  Many  a  man  justifies 
att  act  which  he  tcnows  to  be  wrongful  be- 
cause  it  steyn^  tp  htm  tofatt  the  logkal  reisrilt 


ungodly  as  those  who  prosper  in  this  world; 
who  increase  in  riches,  whose  eyes  stand  out 
with  fatness,  who  haVe  moVe  than  heart  can 
wish.  There  is  a  species  of  religious  teaching 
which  would  have  ut  believe  that  misery  is 
the  price  which  the  righteous  pay  in  this  world 
for  eternal  joy  in  the  next.  But  that  is  not 
true.  "It  is  a  good  thing  to  give  thanks  unto 
thi^  Lord"  vvrote  David;  not  good  because  the 
Lord  will  give  a  reward  hereafter  for  sucli 
thanks,  but  because  the  spirit  which  inspires 
«ir|iai  the  Psalmist  calls  thankfulness  is  of  it-

use  them  rightly;  but  they  are  nothing  to  the 
feeling  that  one  can  stand  unashamed  before 
the  Universe  and  feel-  himself  in  harmony 
with  God  and  the  eternal  laws  of  life.  This 
is  what  counts  in  the  long  run  in  the  life  that 
we  are  living  from  day  to  day,  and  as  a  matter 
of  course  it  is  the  only  thing  that  can  count 
in  any  future  life  there  may  be. 

But  some  say  that  they  are  not  much  con- 
cerned about  what  counts  in  the  long  run.  for 
there  may  be  no  long  run  ^for  them.  They 
want  what  counts  now.  This  is  reasonable ; 
not  the  best  of  reason  doubtless,  but  pretty 
good  reason  just  the  same.  It  is  a  foolish 
doctrine  that  everything  sweet  is  bad  and  ev- 
erything bitter  wholesome.  There  is  an 
abundance  of  wholesome  pleasure  in  the  world 


extending  200  feet  above  the  Wter.  This  im- 
plies a  thickness  of  2,000  feet  for  the  glacier 
from  which  they  broke  away.  We  shall  prob- 
ably know  more  about  the  extent  of  the  great 
southern  glaciers  when  the  full  reports  of  the 
latest  exploratory  expeditions  are  made  pub- 
lic, but  sufficient  is  known  at  present  to  war- 
rant the  opinion  that  there  may  be  millions  of 
square  miles  of  glaciers  there.  There  is  no 
means  of  arriving  at  any  definite  idea'  of  the 
glacial  area  ipAmeriw,  It  extends  from  the 
vicinity  of  C!^)e  P«ti^^to  of  Point 

Sarrpw.  inpt  interruptedly,  of  courie*  hut  ev- 
ci-ywhefe.  along  the  western  jnountain  ranges, 
except  in  Mexico  and  Centrial  Amjunfcaj^  Jp^re, 
are  glaciers.  T'hey  are  found  even  in  J&tuadqSv 
which  is  directly  under  the  Equator.  The  gla- 
ciers are  numbered  by  hundreds,  varying  m 
size  from  the  Taku,  having  an  area  ofmuiy 
square  miles,  to  the  smaller,  whose  surface 
consists  of  only  a  few  acres.  The  glaciers  of 
Asia  are  confined  chiefly  to  the  Himalayas, 
where  they  form  the  source  of  all  the  princi- 
pal rivers  of  India.  They  are  of  vast  extent 
as  compared  with  those  of  Europe  and  the 
majority  of  those  in  America.  There  are  gla- 
ciers in  the  Caucasus  Mountains,  but  none  in 
the  Altai  range.  There  are  many  glaciers  in 
the  Alps  and  their  combined  area  is  estimated 
at  1, 100  square  miles,  which  is  about  the  same 
as  the  area  of  the  Muir  Glacier.  There  are

hundred  villages,  and  met  at  a  rendezvous  at 
the  foot  of  the  Lake  of  Geneva  to  the  number 
of  368,000  men,  women  and  children  of  whom 
according  to  Caesar,  92,000  were  capable  of 
bearing  arms.  Notwithstanding  their  assur- 
ances of  peaceful  intentions,  Caesar  forbade 
them  to  cross  the  Roman  territory.  A  confer- 
ence ensued  in  which  the  Helvetii  acted  with 
frankness,  but  the  Roman  consul  with  deceit. 
While  he  was  ostensibly  considering  the  best 
wav  of  meeting  the  wishes  of  the  would-be 
emigrants,  Caesar  was  secretly  constructing 
a  wall  to  prevent  their  passage  of  the  Rhone, 
and  this  accomplished  he  refused  to  allow 
them  to  proceed  westward.  They  therefore 
turned  towards  the  north,  but  Caesar,  who 
had  in  the  meanwhile  received  five  additional 
legions  from  Rome,  fell  upon  their  rear  guard 
and  cut  it  to  pieces.  He  then  assailed  the 
main  body  of  the  emigrants  and  slew  them 
without  mercy.  A  brave  and  warlike  people, 
they  resisted  courageously,  but  hampered  as 
they  were  by  their  women  and  children  and 
all  their  household  wealth,  they  could  make 
no-  effectual  resistance,  and  although  they 
were  able  t4^  prolong  the  struggle  for  a  year, 
they  were  at  length  driven  back  to  Switieer- 
land.  having  losr.  during  the  year  of  struggle 
more  than  a  quarter  of  a  million  of  those  who 
had  set  out  for  the  West.  The  course  of 
Caesar  cannot  be  justified  upon  any  grounds. 
It  was  a  merciless  display  of  Roman  power 
at  the  expense -of  a  people  who  had^o  hostile 
intentions  whatever.  The  Gallic  tribes,  name- 
ly the-  Aeduans  and  Avernians,  witnessed  this 
destruction  of  their  neighbors  with  consider- 
able Complacency,  and  sent  envoys  to  congrat- 
ulate Ceasar,  but  they  had  scarcely  returned 
when  war  broke  out  on  their  own  borders. 
Ariovistus  at  the  head  of  a  large  German 
army  crossed  the  Rhine.  He  was  a  soldier  of 
great  repute,  and  even  Caej^ar  was  doubtful  of 
his  ability  to  encounter  him  successfully  in 
the  field.  He  sent  messengers  asking  him  to 
meet  in  conference.  To  this  Ariovistus  re- 
|4ie^:  "If  I  had  any  business  to  transact  with 
Caesar,  1  would  go  to  bim;  if  he  has  any  busir 
ness  to  transact  with. me,  let  him  come  to  me," 
Caesarv  who' seems  to  have  wished  to  avoi<l 
a  conllict  the  <*id-of  which  he  could  not  fore- 
see, contented  himself  with  sending  an  order 
to  Aribvtstus  forbidding  him  to  molest  the 
Aeduans  who  were'allie«  of  Rome.  To  this 
the  haughty  German  replied  that  ht  had  al- 
ready conqnei^ed  the  Aeduans.  This  reply 
left  Caesar  no  alternative    than    to  advance 

k-rebulif  -li-'^ubmitted-tor- 
M' dSssiroy  Roman  prestige  in  Gaul.  Ari- 
ovistus had  no  desire  to  try  his  strength  ag- 
ainst Caesar,  although  in  his  reply  to  a  fur- 
ther demand  that  he  should  advance  no  fur- 
ther into  Gaul,  he  said  that,  if  Caeaair  wished 
to  try  his  prowess  against  men  who  for  four- 
teen years  had  never  alept  under  a  roof,  be 
would  be  welcomed.  The  Konian  legion«< 
were  acordingly  led  northward  by  Caesar  and 
on  their  approach  Ariovistus  proposed  a  con- 
fprcnce  for  the  partitioti  of  Gaul.  To*  this 
Caesar  woiild  not  barken  for  an  instant,  and 
liostilities  were  begun.  They  ended  in  the 
overthrow  of  Ariovistus  after  a  struggle  in 
which  all  the  honors  were  not  by  any  means 
on  the  Roman  side.  The  great  German  led 
the  remnant  of  his  troops  back  across  the 
Rhine,  and  cjied  shortly  afterwards. 

The  expedition  against  Ariovistus,  al- 
though intended  nominally  for  the  defence  of 
the  Gauls  against  invaders,  had  the  effect  of 
alarming  the  people,  who  saw  with  good  rea- 
^^on  that  the  end  of  their  independence  was 
at  hand.  They  resisted  the  extension  of  Ro- 
man power  with  much  courage,  but  after  eight 
campaigns,  which  lasted  over  a  period  of  nine 
years,  and  were  attended  with  varying  for- 
tunes on  both  sides,  Caesar  made  himself  mas- 
ter of  the  whole  of  Gaul,  and  had  found  op- 
portunity in  the  meanwhile  to  invade  Britain. 
The  bloodshed  was  terrible.  The  Nervians 
were  practically  exterminated  In  their  peli- 
i;oii  to  Caesar,  sent  from  the  dcptlis  of  a  mor- 
ass where  they  had  taken  refuge,  they  said 
•  hat  of  their  three  hundred  senators  only  three 
were  left,  and  of  sixty  thousand  fighting  men 
only  five  ImndreH  survived.  Cacs.Tr  granted 
this  fragment  the  peace  for  which  they  sought. 
The  Adnaticans  met' with  evrn^a  worse  fate. 
They  declined  to  surrender.     In  the  final  bat- 


the  relief  of  the  besieged,  but  it  seems  incred- 
ible that  so  vast  a  host  could  have  been  as- 
sembled ;  'still  less  probable  does  it  seem  that 
the  relatively  small  force  of  the  Romans  could 
have  prevailed  against  .such  a  multitude.  Af- 
ter a  struggle  lasting  for  several  days  Caesar 
was  victorious.  Vercengetorix  refused  to  find 
.safety  in  flight,  but  went  to  Caesar's  camp 
and  asked  mercy  for  his  people.  The  Ro- 
mans refused.  The  Gauls,  who  had  been  taken 
prisoners  were  distributed  among  the  Romans 
as  slaves,  and  their  gallant  lea<ler  himself,  af- 
ter having  graced  Caesar's  triumph,  was  slain. 
This  ended  Gallic  independence,  and  shortly 
after  the  Roman  legions  returned  home,  the 
whole  country  becoming  a  Roman  province.

TAI^ES   OP  ANCIENT  CIVILIZATIONS 

,The  Greeks  in  Egypt 

Psammetichus  was  ruling  in  Egypt,  during 
the  latter  part  of  Arsur-bani-pai's  reign  in 
Assyria,  where  the  latter's  power  was  on  the 
decline.  .  In  a  former  article  we  told  how 
Psammetichus  was  chosen  from  among  the 
twelve  princes *to  rule  over. the  country  of  the 
Nile,  and  of  how  the  "brazen  army  came  up 
out  of  the  sea"  to  help  him  fight  his  battles. 

These  "brazen  men"  were  the  Greeks,  the 
Hellens,  as  they  then  called  themselves,  and 
being  of  a  different  race,  and  their  war  re- 
galia still  further  disguising  them,  the  very 
sight  of  them  was  sufficient  to  inspire  terror 
in  the  minds  of  the  African  peoples.  Their 
consternation  was  much'  as  ours  might  be 
were  we  to  behold  today  a  glittering  army 
arriving  among  us  from  another  planet. 

Of  armor,  the  Egyptians  knew  practically 
nothing.  On  the  battlefield  they  wore  no  pro- 
tection of  any  kind.  Fancy  their  horrified 
amazement  when  they  saw  for  the  first  time, 
the  metal-encased  Greek  soldiery.  "With 
their  bulging  corselets,  the  two  plates  of  which 
protected  back  and  chest,  their  greaves  made 
of  a  single  piece  of  bronze  reaching  from  the 
ankle  to  the  knee,  their  square  or  oval  buck- 
lers covered  with  metal,  their  heavy,  rounded 
helmets  fitting  closely  to  the  head  and  neck, 
and  surmounted  by  crests  of  waving  plumes, 
they  were,  in  truth,  men  of  brass,  invulnerable 
to  any  Oriental  weapon.  Drawn  up  in  close 
array  btoe^ath  their  "tortoise"  they  received 
alijnost  unhurt  the  hail  of  arrows  and  stooies, 
bitried  against  them  by  the  lightly-armed  in* 
fsntty,  and  then,  when  their  own  trumpet 
.  sounded  the  itigtial  jftt  atjacfc,  and  thify  Wt 


themselv^  fall  with  thei<  Own  Weight  ttp(^ 
the  masses  of  the  enenmy,  brandishing  their 
spears  above  the  upHD^jIcj^e  of  their  bucklers, 
there  was  no  form  biP  mtive  troops  or  com- 
pany of  Mashuasha  that  tlid  not  waver  be-, 
neath  the  shock,  and- finally  give  way  before 
their  attack." 

No  wonder  that  Psammetichus  desired  to 
retain  such  troops  in  his  .service,  and  in  or- 
der to  do  so,  he  paid  them  handsomely  and 
gave  them  the  post  of  honor  as  "the  guards 
of  his  right  hand."  Besides  this  their  mili- 
tary honor  would  have  kept  them  loyal  to  their 
employer,  in  the  face  of  all  munificent  offers 
to  serve  elsewhere. 

Attracted  by  the  stories  sent  home  I)y  the 
Greek  mercenaries,  their  countrymen  began 
to  flock  to  the  fertile  valleys  of  the  Nile,  and 
to  settle  along  the  Pelusiac  branch  of  the 
great  river  with  the  pertnission  of  Psammeti- 
chus. The  Pharaoh  believed  that  the  infusion 
of  new  and  vigorous  blood  with  the  Egyptian 
people  would  have  a  beneficial  effect  upon 
the  older  nation,  but  his  subjects  were  not  of 
a  like  mind  with  their  ruler. 

In  the  first  place  the  Greeks  did  not  come 
among  them  respectfully  and  solicitously  as 
had  the  Africans  and  Asiatics,  they  had  not 
the  deferential  manner  of  the  Hebrew  and 
Phoenician  merchants.  Toward  these  latter 
peoples,  the  Egyptians  had  always  been 
friendly.  But  the  Greeks  came  sailing  proud- 
ly over  the  sea  in  their  own  fine  shi])s  of  war, 
confident  of  their  strength  and  al)ility,  and 
showing  no  spirit  of  servility  evcnto  tiic  great 
Pharaoh  himself.  v\nd  the  older  nation  shun- 
ned them.  They  thouglit  them  nncnli.srhtcn- 
cd.  and  on  account  of  their  manner  of  eating.

may  compel  obedience  to  the  will  of  ataother, 
cannot::,4i^i^e  the  pebon  compelled  of  his 
freedcnti  bt-ivill.  We  are  all  conscious  of  our 
ability  to  resist  to  the  last  extremity.  The 
instinct  of  self-preservation  may  lead  us  to 
yield,  but  the  yielding  is  always  a  voluntary 
act.  The  human  will  may  be  indomitable,  if 
it  wishes  to  remain  .so. 

It  is  because  of  this  essential  freedom  of 
our  will  that  we  are  the  arbiters  ^f  our  own 
destinies,  and  being  so,  we  havi  )urselves 

to  blame  if  we  hamper  oiir  futures  with  an 
unworthy  past.  We  are  often  told  that  when 
we  do  things,  that  we  feel  at  the  time  are 
wrong,  we  are  sinning  against  God;  we  do  not 
often  think,  and  we  are  not  very  often' admon- 
ished that  we  are  sinning  against  ourselves. 
An  all-merciful  Father  may  forgive  us  tres- 
passes against  Him  ;  but  we  have  no  jiower  to 
forgive  our  sins  against  ourselves.  If  one 
should  say  that  there  is  a  God,  who  has  made 
certain  laws  for  His  glory  and  that  if  we  of- 
fend against  them,  lie  will  punish  us,  we  may 
refuse  to  accept  such  a  statement,  or  at  least 
regard  such  consecjuences  of  our  acts  as  so  re- 
mote as  to  be  negligible.  We  rnky  disbelieve 
in  rewards  and  punishments  in  another  world, 
and  with  much  reasonableness  put  those,  who 
assert  such  things  to  be  in  store  for  us,  upon 
proof  of  their  assfMiim  I'.nf  up  r,mnot  es-

and  that  it  is  the  sort  ol  life  vvc  clioosc  to 
make  it.  Right  living  is  rewarded  in  this 
life;  Wrong  living  is  punished  in  it.  This 
may  provoke  a  smile,  and  sonic  may  fjuotc

The  trouble  with  very  many  of  us  is  that  we 
pervert  our  tastes.  We  do  it  physically.  A 
recent  racy  writer  on  eating  says  that  the 
world  is  ceasing  to  eat  and  is.  learning  only  to 
dine.  The  wholesome  dishes  that  our  grand- 
fathers, and  even  our  fathers,  used  to  enjoy 
are  distasteful  to  us.  We  must  have  some- 
thing that  will  coax  us  to  eat  it.  He  says 
the  result  is  going  to  be  physical  degeneration 
and  that  white  men  will  have  to  give  way  to 
a  race  of  people  who  eat  and  do  not  dine.  In 
pleasures  that  appeal  to  the  mind  we  see  a 
tendency -in  the  same  direction.  Lying  be- 
fore us  is  an  article  dealing  with  the  aMeged 
grace,  artistry  and  high  significance  of  the  an- 
tics of  some  dancer?,  and  w^,. are. gravely  in- 
formed in  it  that  a  girl  in  tights  who  is  able 
to  stand  oh  her  toe  and  touch  her  chin  with 
her  knee  is  appealing  to  the  soul,  W^e  saw 
the  other  night  in  the  theatre  a  worn-out  fe- 
male tearing  a  passion  in  tatters  after  the 
fashion  of  a  woman  of  the  half- world  and  we 
were  expected  to  be  edified  thereby.  In  the 
last  illustrated  London  News  samples  are 
given  of  New  Art  in  which  we  are  expected 
to  see  something  of  infinite  importance.  Silly 
people  write  about  these  things  as  though  they 
were  wonderful,  and  other  silly  people  think 
they  are.  We  poison  our  intellectual  digestion 
with  niiurotic  triash  and  then  are  amazed  that 
we  take  no  pleasure^in  things  that  really  are 
worth  something,  Much  of  the  so-called  lit-

imagination  witn  things  we  would  not  throw 
to  the  dogs,  if  dogs  could  understand  them.

bergen,  Nova  Zembla  and  Iceland  are  also 
largely  glacier-clad.  Even  in  New  Zealand 
there  are  glaciers,  and  probably  some  may  be 
found  in  the  higliest  elevations  of  Africa  and 
Australia.  Perhaps  it  would  do  as  a  rough 
approximation  to  say  that  the  surface  of  the 
earth  now  covered  by  glaciers  may  be  equal 
to  the  area  of  Canada,  or  upwards  of  3,000,000 
square  miles.  When  we  remember  that<ii^  the 
Tertairy  Age,  which  preceded  the  Glacial 
Period,  the  climate  of  the  earth  waa  such  that 
tropical  vegetation  flourished  at  thtt.Nortii

in  the  Ice  Age,  although  there  is  abundant

It  was  .stated  last  Sunday  that  we  are  liv- 
ing in  the  Glacial  Period,  arid  possibly  this 
mav  seem  to  some  to  be  rather  in  the  nature  of 
a  f):..;nrative  expression;  intt  it'is  literally  true.

called  pa,  _  Stic  ice,  that  is,  ice  that  has  been 
in  place  from  very  ancient  days  and  forms  as 
much  a  part  of.tlie  solid  surface  of  the  earth  as 
do  the  rocks  upon  which. it  rests.  It  is  well 
to  remember  that  the  normal  state  of  water  in 
high  latitudes  and  high  altitudes  is  solid.  The 
great  difference  in  a  structural  sense  between 
the  ice-cap  at  the  South  Pole  and  the  under- 
lyin.g  ^cks  is  that  the  ice  is  being  constantly 
added  m)  by  the  falling  snow  and  hence  moves 
slowly  towards  the  lower  levels  of  its  own 
weiglii. 

It  is  (jiiitc  impossible  to  estimate  with  any 
accuracy  how  much  of  the  earth's  surface  is 
covered  by  glacial  ice ;  but  a  few  data  may 
serve  to  give  a  vague  idea  of  its  extent. 
Greenland  is  of  unknown  area.  It  lies  across 
fully  twelve  degrees  of  latitude,  and  has  an 
average  width  of  more  than  200  mile?.  It  is 
supposed  to  be  500,000  square  miles  in  extent. 
Bv  far  the  greater  part  of  it  i<;  covered  with  a 
\,,-.;    urve,  out  of  whirl.  :;;;;•,!    glaciers 

flow.  The  Antarctic  Conliiieui  is  estimated  to 
have  an  area  of  ).noo,(XX)  square  miles,  and 
the  greater  part  .i  n  seems  to  be  covered  with 
an  enormous  tliickncss  of  glacial  ice.  Ice- 
bergs have  been  seen  in  the*  South  Polar  Sea

'SSMiratf^dea'^of  iwhat  the  glaciated  portiOHS' - 
of  the  earth  were  like  during  the  geological 
period  now  under  discussion.  There  were  one 
,or  more  centres  ,  of  glacier  formation,  vast 
neves  on  which  the  snow  fell  and  solidified 
into  ice  under  the  dynariiic  force  of  its  own 
pre.ssure.  At  one  time  it  was  thought  that 
one  continuous  ice-sheet,  originating  in  the 
North,  moved  slowly  southward  under  the  mo- 
mentum given  by  its  ever  increasing  weight, 
and  perhaps  also  because  of  the  centrifjitgal 
force  contributed  to  it  by  the  movement  of  the 
earth  around  its  axis.  This  may  not  be  ac- 
cepted as  settled,  for  there  may  have  been -sev- 
eral neves,  or  glacier-producing  centres.  At 
one  time  also,  it  was  assumed  that  there  was 
only  one  Glacial  Period.  Now  the  general 
opinion  seems  to  be  that  there  may  have  been 
several.  An  opinion  is  also  growing  up  that 
the  glaciers  may  not  have  been  as  extensive 
at  any  one  time  as  has  been  supposed.  For 
example,  the  glacial  action,  whose  effects  we 
see  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  may  have  taken  place 
at  a  much  later  date  than  that  on  the  Atlantic 
Coast.  Tradition  I)rings  glacial  action  in  lands 
now  free  from  ice  within  the  historic  period, 
but  geologv  takes  no  note  of  tradition,  al- 
though possibly  if  it  did,  it  might  find  a  clue 
to  the  solution  of  .some. of  its  difficulties.

.)f  Lake  Ontario.    To  record  and  study  those 
Htrange  oscillations,  a  simple  instrument  was 
>et  up  at  the  mouth  of  the  llumber  River  near 
Toronto.     It  was  tlien   found  that  when  the 
haromcter  at  the  Observatory.  Toronto,  ,show- 
fd  sudden  changes  of  air  pressure,  marked  un- 
dulations were  also  recorded  on  the  lake  in- 
•itrument,  and  often  before  the  approach  of  a

inttrtsiing  fornis  of  undulations  are  recorded. 
Tlieae  ar«  called  "seiches,"  and  were  first 
<tuiH4$(l  on  the  Swiss  lakes.  The  effect  of  the 
uassage  of  a  great  storm  centre  from  west  to 
«ast,  for  example,  across*  Lake  Ontario,  is  to 
%8t  raise  the  water  at  the  western  end  under 
this  centre  where  the  air  is  light,  and  as  the 
r<;jg;ion  of  the  lightest  air,  viz.,  the  storm's  cen- 
tre, passes  rapidly  eastward  the  water  wave 
'ojlows  to  the  other  end  of  the  lake.  Here  Uie 
Ktorm  continues  its  eastward  course,  while  the 
whole  body  of  the  lake  is  set  oscillating  from 
*'nd  to  end  and  sideways.  The  former  is  called 
Us  longitudinal  "seiche."  and  amounts  to  from

while  on  the  right  the  wire  passes  over  a  :

which  extends  from  the  top  to  the  bottom  of

After  the  passage  of  storm  areas  across 
Mich  harbors  the  waters  also  show  a  rocking 
movement,  and  for  Victoria  the  longitudinal

nought  training  ships.    To  the  advocacy  of  a 
training  ship  for  British  Columbia,  Mr.  Bur» 
8iU  devoted  himself  with  energy  and  zeal,  and* 
not  only  wro^  many  article!  opon  the  aubject 
lint  had  roan  interviews  "wi^  preminewt~«Mwt<-- 
When  two  or  three  rather  timid  gentlemen 
therw  cold  water  on  the  idea,  Mr.  Bursill  and 
Mr.  St.  John  Mildmay  still  stuck  to  it,  and  it 
was  their  persistence  which  induced  Captain 
Eddie  to  adhere  to  it  at  a  time  when  he  fell 
discouraged. 

At  this  critical  moment  the  ladies  stepi'::  I 
in  and  saved  the  situation  by  putting  forward 
the  happy  idea  of  a  'flag"  day,  the  first  of  the 
"flag  days,"  most  of  the  ladies  belonging  to 
the  Daughters  of  England,  and,  led  by  Sister 
Frances,  they  set  to  work  to  collect  funds  on 
a  cold  day  when  it  never  ceased  to  rain  in  tor- 
rents from  early  morning  until  late  at  night. 
This  "flag  day,"  which  set  the  people  think- 
ing that    there    must    be    something    in  the 


t®iru8i@ini  ©f  Li 


mo\'ement,  was  the  turning  point.  The  woo«y 
collected  then  formed  the  nucleiw.of  the  fund. 
It  was  the  little  fulcrum  upon  which  the  lever 
of  public  opinion  was  able  to  act.  There  is 
not  space  here  to  more  than  hint  at  the 
lengthy,  and  often  trying  negotiations  which 
ensued  between  the  British  Admiralty  and 
other  parties  before  the  Egeria'  was  finally 
purchased;  but  it  is  only  fair  to  give  especial 
ci-edit  to  Mr.  E.  P.  Kay,  the  live  and  tactful 
secretary  of  the  lea|;ue ;  to  Mr.  Goldberg,  but 
for  whom  the  Egena  could  never  have  been 
purchased,  a^he  held  off  the  dealers  who  had 
come  over  from  the  United  States  by  saying 
that  he  would  purchase  her  himself  if  the 
Navy  League  would  ^ot;  and—in  a  lesser, 
but  considerable  degree— to  th«  committee*

Matthew  Walker?  They  were  not  left  long 
in  doubt.  It  was  a  knot,  and  With  a  few  deft 
turns  the  lads  each;  made  one.  Then  they 
spliced  ropes  tog^ether,  neatly,  made  a  lUack- 
wall  hitch  and  so  on.  Next  the  captain  put 
them  through  their  .squad  and  cutlass  drill, 
with  sticks  for  cutlaSses,  and  after  they  had 
beeij  i)hotogr;iplu-d  during  different  evolu- 
tions,  they  were  "snapped"  in  the  attitude  of 
working  one  of  the  Gardner  quick-firing-  }juns 
—an  uncle  of  the  Maxim  at  the  stern.  There- 
after they  were  sent  aloft.  This  is  a  proceed- 
ing which  requires  quite  a  little  nerve,  but, 
although  they  had  only  been  aboard  ship-  a 
month  or  so,  both  Bramwell  and  Bradley 
swarmed  up  the  rigging  like  young  cats,  and 
with  evideiit  deligt,  until  they  had  reached 
the  very  top,  the  Royal  truck,  where  they 
were  again  photographed.  They  ascend  to  the 
top  daily,  and  this  is  a  reminder  of  the  fact 
that  since  the  rigging  drill  in  the  navies  of 
the  world  has  been  abandoned,  on  account  of 
the  shipping  revolution  caused  by  the  advent 
of  .'^leani,  it  has  been  found  that  there  has 
been  a  perceptible  decrease  in  the  nerve  of  sail- 
ing men  wli'^n  at  a  height,  hence  the  value 
of  this  drill.  The  same  thing  applies  to  the 
merchant  service,  of  which  the  Ugcria  will  hi

Dr.  Wiley,  chief  of  the  United  States 
Chemistry  Bureau  at  Washington,  has  told  a 
gathering  of  health-seekers  that  it  is  possible 
to  rais?  man's  average  longevity  to  93  years. 
"Most  diseases  are  now  avoidable,"  he  said, 
"and  in  the  future  all  will  be.  Twenty-five 
years  hence  we  shall  be  able  to  fight  cancer  in- 
telligently, as  we  now  fight  fever." 

Dr.  Miley  is  in  favor  of  ab.solute  state  con- 
trol of  hygiene.  It  is  remarkable  that  while 
he  was  addressing  his  audience  in  America, 
ProfC6>or  Kjpnwood,  county  medical  officer  for 
Bedfori)ptie»  was  speaking  on  the  relation  of 
^t  mthwmpi^y  to  healtii  with  special  reler- 

shire.  An  insufficient  supply  of  witer,  he 
said,  had  far-reaching  consequences,  and  the 
alleged  longevity  of  villagers  was  no  argtiment 
against  this  view,  because  public  health  in  its 
fullest  sense  was  sometimes  at  the  lowest  level 
in  villages  where  statistics  plight  seem  to 
show  that  all  wa^  well. 

What  is  the  age  limit  of  the  human  race, 
and  to  what  is  longevity  due?  "Physicians 
and  scientists  arc  gradually  coming  round  to 
the  point  of  view  expressed  by  Dr.  Wiley," 
said  a  physiologist  to  one  of  our  representatives 
recently.  "Haller.  the  famous  authority  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  believed  that  man  ought  to 
live  to  be  200  years  old.  Buffon  thought  a 
man  could  live  to  at  least  90  or  100  years  if  ac- 
cidcntal  di.sease  did  not  cut  his  life  .short.    The

Titian   arc  c.xujni'  men    vvho   have  pro- 

duced masterpieces  at  what  has  commonly 
been  regarded  as  the  age  limit. 

"We  have  many  cases  at  the  present  day  of 
people  living  to  the  age  of  100  years,  and  over. 
The  white  race  is  not  peculiar  in  this  respect, 
and  it  has  long  been  suspected  that  heredity 
has  something  to  do  with  age.  Yet  it  is  (luite 
remarkable  that  the  majority  of  centenanans 
are  humble  people,  and  in  sorne  cases  poor.

quently more  water  flows  into  the  air  cham-

keep  the.  confined  air  pressure  constant,  the 
copper  ".still"  is  pacfted  in  sawdust  id  prevent

consists  of  a  combination  of  rivetted  steel  pipe 
and  lap-welded  steel  pipe.  The  upper  rivetted 
section  is  44  inches  inside  diameter  and  com- 
prises about  one-third  of  the  total  length.  Tliis 
section  is  of  ample  >\/.t  to  carry  water  for  two 
generating  units  at  the  power  house,  and  is 
provided  with  a  castiron  wye  piece  at  the  lower 
end,  one  branch  of  which  is  closed  with  a  gate 
valve  and  left  blank  until  such  time  as  the  sec- 
ond unit  may  be  installed  at  the  power  station. 

Below  this  point  the  pipe  is  of  the  lap- 
welded  Sled  type  with  a  capacity  for  one  gen- 
erating unit  only,  and  consists  of  approximate- 
ly equal  length.^  of  pipe  of  36in..  34in.,  32in.  and 
3oin.  diameter.  The  thickness  of  the  plate  used 
throughout  provides  for  a  liberal  factor  of 
safety,  and  the  pipe  is  amply  protected  wijJi 
air  valves  and  pressure  relief  valves  installed  at 
intervals  along  its  length,  to  allow  for  entrance 
and  escape  of  air  during  the  filling  and  empty- 
ving  of  the  pipe,  and  to  protect  the  pipe  from 
excessive  strain  due  to  water  ram.

J- 


Nearly  sefefliiy  years  of  active  adult  life  in 
a  man  of  genius,  whose  memory  is  not  yet  fo- 
cussed  in  Time's  review,  present  to  his  biogra- 
phers a  task  rich  in  embarrassment.  The  fires 
of  controversy  that  every  such  personality 
must  kindle  still  burn.  The  personal  element 
in  partizanship  for  and  against  his  causes  is 
yet  alive.    There  is  no  general  agreement  even 

as  to  the  relflitiv<6ii^K^t»MipUNe^^-^^^^^  causes 

or  of  tb«  wo^k  thit^ 'ikdbpi^' in  them.    'Fhe 
'  many  'changes  and''iqpochl:j0l|il^:lN^g^tb it'ea-' 
f*er  of  such  unwonted  lengm  are  itoi  added  fac- 
;  ^y  fff  complexity.    These  ranysidmtjp 
R|i6^i«oine  exigent  deternimed  the  form  of  Mr." 
Wilfrid  Ward's  history  of  John  Henry  New- 
-mm.    The  biographer's  attitude  to  his  sub- 
ject is  somewhat  similar  to  that  adopted  by 
Mr.  Cook  in  his  recent  not  less  comprehensive 
presentment  of  Ruskin.  He  is  sympathetic,  yet 
detached,  exponent  more  than  advocate.     He 
selects  and  guides  rather  than  tells  the  kory 
of  Newman's  life,  which  is,  in  fact,  largely  told 
by    Newman's    owiij.  letters   and   other   docu- 
ments.   It  was  due  to  the  Cardinal's  memory, 
both  personal  and  literary,  that  they  should 
be  published,  for  they  belong  to  his  case.  They 
supplement  his  "Apologia  pro  Vita  Sua,"  and 
throw  new  light  upon  its  author. 

>   The  intimate  simplicity  of  the  private  let- 
ter.s  and  diaries  fs  a  witness  of  character  not 


less  effective  and  yet  more  palpably  sincere 
than  the  brilliant  wit  and  fine  reasoning  of  the 
public  thesis.  And  more  clearly  than  any  of 
.his.  jireviously  recorded  utterances  do  these 
literary  remains  assist  in  revealing  the  strange 
psychological  equipment  of  one  of  the  lohe- 
liest  figures  in  Nineteenth  Century  England. 
T|iey  add  much  to.an  understanding  of  a  man 
whose  perpetual  tragedy  it  was  to  be  misun- 
derstood. In  his  express  aim  of  making  a' 
Esychological  study  of  the  Cardinal,  Mr.  Ward 
as  successfully  employed  the  vast  mass  of 
material  at  his  command.  But  whether  he 
might  not  have  effected  his  object  with  a 
greater  economy  in  the  reproduction  of  letters 
may  well  be  askefd.  Including  but  one  chapter 
devoted  to  the  Oxford  movement,  and  to 
ejr<jats  prcvioas  to  Newman's  conversion  to 
"Rome  in  i&4^54  the  two  volumes  of  this  work 
lextend  to  twelve  hundred  pages;  and  private 
letters,  etren  when  they  are  the  product  of  a 
literary  stylist,  suchr  as  w^s  Newman,  possess 
an  inevitable  difftiseness  and  variety  of  topic, 


occasionally  trivial,  which  renders  them'  in 
great  bulk  a  stumbling-block  to  continuity  of 
narrative  and  a  distraction  of  the  reader's  at- 
tention from  its  central  idea.  The  ipsissima 
verba  of  the  correspondence  were  essential,  but 
in  the. interests  of  the  biographer's  own  pur- 
pose one  could  have  wished  for  some  omis- 
sions and  abbreviations. 

The  Artist  in  ReHg^ii 

One  dominant  fact,  however,  Which  the  lit- 
ters and  Mr.  Ward's  commients  brifig  very 

cl#i1y  ^clbfie  us  is  that  Nemmian's  reaction  to 
Kfc  onfjr  hecdmes  intellfj|ibte  when itlst&A'' 
ized  .that  he  had  the  artisf  s  nature,  and  that 
such  a  nature  was  his,  not  in  the  greater  or 
less  degree  in  which  it  is  characteristic  of  all 
highly  organized  minds,  but  in  a  very  distinc- 
tive and  special  sense.  In  so  far  as  they  were 
manifested  in  common  forms,  that  is  to  say,  in 
literature  and  music,  Newman's  artistic  feel- 
ing and  capacity  were  doubtless  generally  ac- 
cepted as  part  of  the  man.  But  he  was  an  ec- 
clesiastic, and  therefore  could  not  claim,  and 
did  not  receive,  the  title  of  artist.  His  art  was, 
from  the  world's  point  of  view,  so  to  speak  .an 
accident.  His  conduct  would  not  be  estimated 
with  any  allowance  made  for  that  central  qual- 
ity of  his  nature.  "Ne  sutor  ultra  crepidam" 
is  the  rough,  but  practically  convenient,  maxim 
applied  by  the  world  as  readily  to  a  cardinal  as 


"You  gave  it  me  in  1865 — and  I  had  con- 
stant use  and  pleasure  in  the  use  of  it  till  late- 
ly— but  I  find  now  I  have  no  command  of  it; 
nay,  strange  to  say,  I  cannot  count  or  keep 
time.  This  is  a  trouble  to  me;  one  gets  an  af- 
fection for  a  fiddle,  and  I  should  not  like  to  go 
without  getting  it  a  good  master  or  mistress." 

Subtlety  Misunderstood 

But  in  Newman  the  artist  strain  was  not 
confined  to  any  one  channel.  It  was  rooted  in 
#and  operated  th«  proccfis^g  of  lus^.xhin 
mysteriotti^ilt,  so  of t^  the  pinUipf  sorrow,; 
was  a  sotrrce  of  despiartion'tpi»iHi0,h€atasg:itfe' 
had  elected  to  exercise  it  in  an  uhusualand 
stubborn  medium,  where  it  was  necessary  to 
work  with  and  through  colleagues  wrhose  vir- 
tues were  unillumined  by  the  "vita!  spark," 
and  where  he  was  never  free  to  command  the 
machinery  through  which  alone  he  could  per- 
fect his  task  of  impressing  human  sou^s.  The 
"plain,  blunt"  quahty  of  the  English  mind  and 
the  scholastic  logic  of  his  Romanist  colleagues 
were  both  alien  from  an  artist's  vision,  which 
sees  life  not  in  separate  compartments  but  as 
a  mity,  and  not  crudely  divided  into  black 
and  white,  but  tinted  by  the  infinite  gradations 
of  tone  which  lie  between  those  theoretical  ex- 
tremes. Newman  saw  not  one  only,  nor  two, 
but  all  sides  to  a  question,  and  his  decision  of 


it  rested  ot> — a — careful — balancing — oi — many- 
aspects.  T)iis  independent  mode  of  thought 
and  subtlety  of  perception  were  as  foreign  to 
the  discipline  of  a  rigid  ecclesiastical  society  as 
they  would  be  to  that  of  an  army.  In  a  Subor- 
dinate, at  least,  they  had  small  chance  of  suc- 
cess. They  persuaded  Protestants  to  believe 
Newman  guilty  of  equivocation,  while  his  co- 
religionists, accustomed  to  the  dialectic  of  the 
schoolmen,  simply  could  not  follow  him^  To 
causes,  then,  as  much  beyond  his  contfol  as  the 
creation  of  his  own  mind  was  due  the  cbrhpar- 
ative  isolation  in  hisi  native  countty*  and 
chosen  church  of  a  man  who  loved  both. 

Jillaster  of  Woffidf  ,.; 
Yet  his  artist's  discrirainiii^a'^ilid  insight 
were  a  great  source  of  strength  in  one  depart- 
ment of  the  mission,  to  which  he  bclieveid  him- 
self called,  namely^  the  forestalli«jg  of  the  tide 
of  infidelity,  which  he  •  rightl|*  prophesied 
would,  following  ian  upheaval  of,  scientific 
ideas,  invade  in  years  to  come  |he||lronjgholds 
.of  religion.  If  through  the  wah^Sjg^  practical 
sympathy  and  assistance  he  failed  to  create 


lii.s  longed-for  bulwark.-,  of  belief  in  ;i  i^rcal 
Catholic  Utiiversity  in  Ireland,  if  he  failed  in 
this  and  in  other  schemes,  where  co-operation 
or  a  free  hand  was  essential  to  success,  yet  in 
his  writii  !ierc  he  was'  his  own  master, 

his  commaiul  oi  words,  his  magic  of  style,  and 
that  sure  proof  of  artistic  genius,  his  capacity 
to  throw  himself  into  the  mental  attitude  of  in- 
tellectual types  that  ^^iiie^rtd  from  his  own.

It  makes  one  burn  to  be  a  soldier."  An  art- 
ist's,  too,  was  the  deep  delight  that  he  took  in 
the  beatities  of  Nature  and  the  love  that  he 
hgid  for  p^e.  Th^'firat. sever! "years  of  his 
life  were  .spent  in  a  country  itouse  at  Ham, 
near  Richmond,  and  in  middle-age  he  writes  to 
Henry  Wilberforce  recalling  the  scene  in  nn- 
nutest  detail,  adding,  "I  could  tell  you,  I  sup- 
pose, a  hundred  times  a?  much  about  Ham." 
In  1886,  eighty  years  after  leaving  it,  he  says, 
'.'I  dreamed  about  it  when  a  schoolboy  as 
though  it  were  Paradise."  This  tenderness  for 
his  childhood's  home  is  worth  recording,  for  it 
was  to  early  experiences  in  this  surroundinjj; 


Newman  the  Mystic 

AiTd  yet,  while  recognition  of  the  artist  in 
Newman  affords  a  key  to  much  in  his  life  that 
otherwise  perplexes,  it  is  wholly  insufficient 
to  explain  the  man  without  the  all-important 
qualifying  admission  that  the  artist  was  ever 
dominated  by  the  mystic.  Sometimes  the  two, 
whose  aims  are  fundamentally  the  Same, 
worked  happily  together.  But  where  tlie  nat- 
ural impulse  of  the  artist  i^cmi^lW'' to  the 
spiritual  intuition  of  the  mystie  ttrtSiiiwei'rukd. 
It  was  in  Newman's  case  a  peculiar  Warfare, 
laidb^seissue&Un  conduct  could  not  fait 
pear  complex.  His  obedience  to  what%<b4it- 
lieved  to  be  the  will  of  God  and  to  the  dUtJii^r- 
ity,  which,  as  a  Catholic  Roman  he  believed 
to  have  divine -sanction,  was  absolute  arid  un- 
swerving. His  individualistic  nature  is  per- 
petually asserting  itself  in  thoughts  and  acts 
and  methods,  of  which  the  final  outcome  is 
never  certain  to  the  onlooker,  because  their 
originality  is  always  subject  to  the  limit  in- 
volved in  submission  to  a  will  outside,  itself. 
In  this  respect  and  in  his  literal  faith  in  God's 
guidance  he  curiously  resembled  a  famous  con- 
temporary, for  whom  he  had  the  greatest  ad- 
miration— the  saintly  soldier,  General  Gordon. 
It  was  a  coincidence,  and  one  which,  as  a  let- 
ter now  published  shows,  gave  the  poet  pro- 
fotind  pleasiirp,  that  in  the  U<i* 


tragic  days  at 


^ 


W" 


to  a  cobbler.  So  far  as  his  special  gift  of  ex- 
pression was  concerned,  Newman  gladly  as- 
sented to  that  attitude.  His  literary  power 
was  exercised  but  seldom,  and  never  save  in 
the  interest  of  his  religion.  He  avoided  any- 
thing tha^t  might  appear  as  the  exhibition  of 
talent  for  its  own  glorification.  The  Puritan 
instincts  which  survived  his  evangelical  youth, 
and  deeply  veined  the  asceticism  of  his  later 
Catholic  belief,  doubtless  restrained  him  in  this 
matter,  as  in  all  others,  from  following  natural 
instincts  without  Hiifher  grounds  for  their  in- 
dulgence. But  there  is  a  touch  of  human  sweet- 
ness, cqmforting  in  the  story  of  a  life  which, 
with  all  its  spiritual  wealth,  was  so  bare  of 
human  joy,  to  know  that,  alike  in  placid  youth 
and  through  stressful  manhood  into  extreme 
old  age,  Newman  permitted  himself  the  solace 
of  his  violin.  This  fact  ajppears  from  a  letter 
written  in  1883  to  Dean  Church,  offering  as  a 
gift  to  the  latter's  daughter  Mary  a  fiddle,  of 
which  the  Cardinal,  when  82  years  old,  says  in 
a  pathetic  passage:    ' 


that  belong  "those  angel  faces"  to  which  he 
makes  the  exquisite  allusion  in  the  hymn 
which  is  his  mOst  familiar  poem.

The  arrival  of  Professor  Naville  at  the 
Arab  village  of  Belianeh,  in  Upper  Egypt,  has 
just  completed  the  small  body  of  four  or  five 
,  erudite  Englishmen  arid  Americans  who  iare 
bent  upon  opening  up  the  still  unexplored  part 
of  the  temple  of  "the  Pharaoh  of  the  Exodus." 
An  official  of  the  Egypt  Exploration  Fund,  un- 
der which  the  work  is  being  carried  out,  indi- 
cated that  Americans  ate  beginning  to  show  a 
particular  keenness  for  discoveries  which  can 
only  be  obtained  by  such  researches. 

"Exploration  is  a  lottery,"  said  this  offi- 
cial, "arid  one  really  does  not  know  whether 
the  thousand  pounds  or  so  that  is  to  be  spent 
by  our  Egyptian  explorers  this  year  will  bring 
a  good  return.  But  it  is  attractive  enough  in 
its  speculative  aspect  to  make  quite  a  large 
number  of  Americans  assist  us  in  fanancing 
our  present  expedition.  Sometimes,  of  course, 
our  excavators  may  go  to  great  expense  and 
labor  and  yet  they  may  not  get  any  tangible 
results.  Or  they  may  simply  arrive  at  scienti- 
fic and  historical  vecifications,  alterations,  or 
discoveries  that  cannot' h«ve  any  wide  popu- 
lar appeal.  But  we  expect  the  Temple  of  the 
Pharaoh  to  render  up  inscr^tions,  and  per- 
haps funerary  jewels,  etc.  It  h  a  difficult 
-rirorier  byaTtsrthe  pa&sage  which  to  ta  bft  dpen- 
^,|1  ^ts  choHed  with  sand  if  it  is  left  from  one 
iieason  to  auothcr,  and  so  the  explorers  have 
to  be  on  the  spot  till  complete  excavation  is 
accomplished.  Gangs  of  Arab  laborers  are  or- 
ganized u^dcr  Professor  Naville  and  His  com- 
panions, aad  the  strictest  supervision  is  neces- 
sary. We  hope  that  we  shall  recover  enoui^h 
to  addi.^  ^  aloeks  of  some  of  the  museums, 
perhaf>iji?ii#*  provinces.  For  in  this  way  a 
reciprocal  process  of  financed  exploration  and 
qf  the, enlargement  of  permanent  exhibitions 
j^oes  on,'- 

The  Arab  settlement  of  Belianeh,  where  the 
underground  Temple  of  Pharaoh  is  to  be  ex- 
cavated, has  already  been  well  worked  by  ex- 
plorers. As  the  ancient  Abydos,  its  history, 
from  about  3060  B.C.  right  down  to  the  Chris- 
tian era,  made  it  a  prominent  centre  of  life, 
and  also  of  death  and  splendid  burial,  in  Upper 
Egypt.  It  is  just  in  such  places  that  the 
science  of  archaeology,  too  drily  named,  resu-s- 
citates  materials  from  which  the  quality  of 
antique  civilizations  can  be  reconstructed.  This 
Temple  of  Pharaoh,  for  instance,  seems  really 
t.)  have  been  built  underground  for  the  celebra- 
tion of  the  mysteries  of  the  god  Osiris,  and  the 
Pharaoh  so  notoriously  difficult  in  the  matter 
of  the  Exodus,  came  in  some  curious  way  to 
be  identified  with  that  god.  The  Egyptians 
*f  those  eras,  symbolically  buried  from  the 
iif)pcr  world  in  subterranean  halls  and  pas- 
-ng-cs  and  chambers,  attempted  to  propitiate 
the  spirits  of  the  under  world,  and  thought,  no 
'iouht,  that  the  supreme  Osiris-Pharaoh  might 
be  persuaded  to  display  the  softer  side  of  his 
character  under  these  new  conditions. 

The  present  excavators  mean  to  expose  the 
n>anner  of  the  junction  which  thi^  underground 


temple  made  with  the  Temple  of  Seti.  What 
may  they  not  discovier  in  the  process?  Per- 
haps they  will  find  some  inscription  eloquent 
of  the  Jjelief  in  a  resurrection  of  the  body,  such 
as  that  which  runs :  "May  his  limbs  be  gath- 
ered together  for  him,  may  his  body  l>e  knit  to- 
gether again,  and  may  he  be  victorious  over  bis 
enemies." 

,  The  walb  .of  the  part  which  has  already 
been  excavated,  show  forth  the  adventures  at- 
tributed to  the  soul  after  death  according  to  the 
cult  of  Osiris,  and  there  are  written  warnings 
to  the  soul's  devilish  "enemies"  if  they  dare  to 
interfere  with  her  passage.  It  is  to  be  hoped 
tliat  Professor  Naville  and  his  companions  will 
be  quite  undisturtted  by  this  hostility,  which 
was,  tip  doubt,  propitiated  thousands  of  years 
ago. 

But  of  all  the  things. in  Egyptian  explora- 
tion which  recall  the  unity  of  human  natu>e, 
even  across. any  apace  of  time,  probably, the 
jewels  of  the  wom^n,  the  toys  of  the  children, 
and  the  instruments  of  games  "have  the  great-r 
est -pathos  and  app«a!i,  When  an  excavator

may  unear/th  a  spinning  top,  still  shaped,  with 
grooves  for  the  Egyptian  whipcord,  or  a  gor- 
geous chess  man,  with  which  some  grave  citi- 
es no  doubt  ch(K;ku»ted  some  less  skilful 
contemporary.  Y4i  that  contemporary  lived 
perhaps  in  2380  B.C.  Indeed,  it  is  a  pleasant 
speculation  to  use  such  discoveries  as  a  basis 
from  which  one  may  wonder  what  strange 
parts  of  the  furniture  of  our  life  may  not  be 
unearthed  in  these  explorations. 


SIR  E.  GREY'S  FOREIGN  POLICY 

Sir  Edward  Grey,  Bart.,  addressed  a  meet- 
ing of  his  constituents  in  the  village  of  North 
Sunderland,  and  made  a  vigorous  reply  to  his 
critics  on  foreign  policy.  He  said :  I  am  re- 
proached sometimes  with  not  talking  enough 
about  foreign  affairs.  All  I  can  .say  is  that  in 
the  last  session  of  Parliament  I  talked  a  great 
deal  about  foreign  affairs,  and  if  I  am  to  deal 
with  foreign  affairs  tonight  then  I  cannot  deal 
with  anything  else.  Foreign  affairs  are  not 
things  which  you  can  touch  upon  with  a  few 
sentences  and  pass  away  from.  They  are 
things  which,  if  they  are  to  be  treated  as  a 
whole,  and  when  they  are  treated  at  all.  must 
be  treated  somewhat  exhaustively,  li  ua-ier- 
tainly  not  the  intention,  when  this  meeting 
was  arranged,  that  it  should  be  occupied  with 
foreign  affairs,  and  I  think  we  should  deal 
with  affairs  at  home.  So  I  will  only  say  this 
much  about  foreign  affairs  tonight.  I  am 
aware — indeed,  1  see,  extracts  have  appeared 
in  the  local  papers,  which  makes  me  sure  that 
you   also  must   be  aware — that  1,   personally, 


i,.i»iii.iiiii<i 


have  been  the  s<ih|e^f  of  very  ^tt^^fe;  attacks 
firom  certain  quaJ't*^  in  the  i;<ih«l:ad\  I^Ptss 
with  regard  to  ior^^  aflitirs  recently. 

■  Well,  I  have  not  seen  all  these  atfiackii;  I 
cannot  go  searching  about  foi[  disajgret^ible 
things  about  myself.  (Laughter.)  I  bavt  got 
a  great  deal  to  read  every  day  connected  with 
my  office,  a  great  deal  of  news — actual  news 
— to  read  in  the  papers  in  order  that  I  may 
keep  up  with  affairs,  that  it  is  absolutely  ne- 
cessary I  should  know,  and  that  leaves  very 
little  time  for  reading  things  less  impoi-tant 
than  the  public  matters  which  1  have  to  read: 
And  I  think  it  »a  bad  enough  in  the  recess  that 
one  should  have  a  large  amount  of  office  work 
to  do  every  day.  But  that  is  inevitable  r  that 
has  to  be  done.  But  if  in  addition  to  that  one 
has  to  spend  one*s  recess.  »n  reading  disagree- 
able things  about  one's  self,  life  wo»td  reaUy 
be  intolerable.  Therefore,  I  do  not  know 
everything  that  has  been* said;  |jut  I  do  know 
a  considerlsble  amount  of  fault  has.  jl>een  found 
with  what  some  people  think,  a^d.  what  titey. 
call,  my  foreigfn  policy.  It  ought  n6t  to  be 
called  mine  personally,  lor  of  course  it  is  quite 
tmpo^ihle  for  any  individual  Foreign  Minis- 
ter to  carry  out  the  policy  which  is  not  in  its 
main  lines  the  policy  of  the  Cabinet  of  which 
he  is  a  member.    (Hear,  heat*.)     .- 

Well  now, 'just  let  me  put  you  on  yptj^ 
,m«*fK*««»t  ptpgi  who  are.>s  I  think,  %V' 
bad  advisers  With  regard  tb  fottieei-polUy:. 
There  is  a  certain  section  no  doubt  -%l4ife'Lib- 
eral  party  .  which  thinks  we  don't  -  interfere 
nearly  enough,  especially  in  certain  parts  of 
the  world.  Mongolia.  I  think,  is  the  part  last 
selected  as  one  in  which  we  ought  to  take  an 
active  interest.  Well  now,  believe  me,  if  you 
are  going  to  pursue  a  foreign  policy  of  that 
kind;  if  this  country  is  going  to  interfere  ac- 
tively in  Central  Asian  questions  far  beyond 
our  own  Indian  frontier,  you  are  going  to  in-* 
cur  not  only  the  very  heavy  naval  expenditure 
which  we  have  already,  but  a  \a.st  increase  in 
military  expenditure  as  well. 

People  who  press  upon  me  a  different  for- 
eign policy  from  that  which  is  now  being  pur- 
sued are,  it  seems  to  me,  the  people  who  are 
really  advocating  as  a  foreign  policy  the  maxi- 
mum of  interference  in  the  affairs  of  the  world 
at  large  and  the  minimum  of  friendship— 
(cheers)— because  that  policy,  if  it  was  carried 
out,  would  .soon  leave  us  without  a  friend  in 
Europe.  Now,  believe  me,  that  is  the  most  fu- 
tile and  expensive  policy  that  this  country 
could  adopt,  and  I  consider  it  from  every  point 
of  view — whether  it  be  the  point  of  view  of 
the  party,  or  whether  it  he  the  point  of  view 
of  national  interest — the  duty,  I  would  say,  of 
any  Government,  whether  it  be  a  Liberal  or  a 
Conservative  Government,  to  resist  a  policy  of 
that  kind.  (Hear,  hear.)  I  just  wanted  to  say 
so  much,  in  case  you  have  seen  these  attacks, 
In  ])r(\('nt  \'in  being  misled  by  what  I  con- 
sider unwise  and  mistaken  advice. 


Khartoum,  Gordon  was  reading  'The  Dream 
of  Gerontius."  The  General's  pencil-marked 
copy  of  the  poem  was,  we  learn,  given  by  his 
relatives  to  the  Cardinal.  Both  men  have  been 
severely  criticised  in  respect  of  their  judgment 
and  practical  conduct  of  affairs.  Doubtless 
they  both  made  mistakes.  And  yet  their  lives 
were  such  that  the  history  they  made — or  fail- 
ed to  make — appears  to  the  common  man  of 
small  importance  beside  the  magnetic  and  up- 
lifting quality  of  their  peift^al  -influence.

London  Standard. 
..r-.  So  a  check  is  being  put  on  these  monstrosi- 

■;tjes  that  the  world  has  crown  to  hate.  When, 
years  ago.  thev  pui  up  \'ictoria  street  as  it 

_at|»toa0day,  ku^kiiilipd  that  it  was  like  a 
street  in  Hell :  but  titf'ifbticc  was  taken  of  his 
protest.  In  America  the  skyscraper  rose  high- 
er and  higher,  swifter  and  swifter.  Even  now 
New  York  lies  under  the  gigantic  threat  of  the 
Woolnoth  building,  the  plans  for  which  were 
sanctioned  before  the  coming  of  the  new  law. 
It  IS  to  cost  £3.000,000,  and  will  be  yooft.  high. 
In  London,  too,  the  builders  began  to  climb. 
Time  was,  not  so  long  ago,  when  no  houses  at 
all  could  be  seen  by  the  stroller  in  the  middle 
of  Hyde  Park  or  KensingtiMi  Gardens.  Then 
the  block  of  buildings  at  Albert  Gate  h^irst  on 
an  alarmed  London.  The  years  went  on  ;  the 
mushroom  growths  sprang  up,  till  now  on  al- 
most every  side  the  wanderer  in  the  parks  ha.s 
a  vista  of  toweris.  Finally,  at  vSt.  James',  "Han- 
key's  Folly,"  more  politely  known  as  "Queen 
Anne's  Mansions,*'  startled  London  into  action, 
and  .we  got  the  P>uilding  Act,  which  limits  the 
height  of  construction  to  Soft,  to  the  wall  head 
and  two  storeys  in  the  roof. 

And  municipalities  all  over  the  country  are 
taking  a  similar  s.tdhd.  In  an  interview  with 
One  of  our  representatives  yesterday.  Mr.  J.  G. 
S.  Gibson,  who  till  iQiO  was  president  of  the 
Royal  Institute  of  Britisli  Architects,  endorsed 
the  view  that  the  day  of  t,hc  skyscraper  is  over. 
"America  is  tired  of  them,  and  very  wisely." 
he  said.  "A  single  skyscraper  does  not  matter 
much,  but  when  yOu  get  .'i  street  of  them  the 
closed-in-  feeling,  the  lack  of  natural  light,  and 
oarticularly  the  airles.s'ness,  are  very  bad.  Liv- 
erpool has  allowed  one  or  two  skyscrapers  to 
go  u]".  notably  the  Royal  Liverpool  Friendly 
Society's  Building;  Init  that  is  a  unique  case, 
the  site  being  an  old  dock  and  absolutely  iso- 
lated from  other  buildings.  1  do  not  think 
Liverpool  will  allow  any  more  of  these  erec- 
tions; the  other  municipalities  will  Oot,  and 


50  one  lt«liy:^»>y  that  the  most  aggressive  form 
of  skyscra|»er  is  done  with  for  ever.  ,, 

"All  the  same,  it  is  necessary  that  a  very 
keen  watch  shbuld  be  kept  on  all  proposals  for 
new  buildings.  For  example,  the  ruination  of 
Regent  street  that  has  recently  cOBie  jabout  iS 
simpljjr  «0eked.  The  aspi^'0f.jl|g||p«  cfes-^ 
cent  £aa.  iiaen  wrecktA^-^fJ^  Department  of 
Wooidjt  anii?I^orests,  whWl'the  ground  land- 
lordf^ltould'itiever  have  allowed  the  high  build- 
ings that  have  been  put  upi^^f.-  Either  they 
shoutd'uot  have  charged  gtwi^i^rents  such  as 
to  force  leaseholders  to  bui!idl;«^l&ie  structures, 
or  they  should  have  stipulated  that  the  frontage 
on  Regent  stlfecl  shuuld  not  ciixccd  a  certain 
height.  You  and  I,  of  coufSe,  are  the  real 
ground  landlords  who  get  the  rent,  but  it  was 
far  more  itnportant  to  us  that  Regent  street 
should  retain  its  -fine  lightness,  spaciousness, 
and  airiness  than  that  the  last  penny  shquld  be 
extracted  in  gjound  i:ent.  The  difference  it 
makes  to  our  taxation  is  simply  an  infinitesi- 
mal fraction  of  a  farthing. 

Though  he  is  hard  on  skyscrapers,  Mr. 
Gibson  has  no  complaint  as  an  architect 
against  the  modern  speeding-up  of  building 
operations.  **Witluu  my  period  of  prataiwrthc 
time  taken  in  building  operations  has  been 
halved,"  he  said.  "Rut  1  do  not  think  that  this 
has  been  to  the  detriment  of  architecture.  ,We 
do  not  work  as  in  t-lic  old  days,  when  a  building 
was  begun  on  a  rough  general  scheme  which 
evolved  and  was  perfected  as  the  construction 
progressed.  The  architect  today  usually  has 
plenty  of  time  to  prepare  his  complete  plans 
beforehand.  It  is  all  organization  nowadays. 
Modern  buildings  are  so  large  and  costly  that 
they  have  to  be  finished  and  earning  a  return 
on  the  capital  a.s  ^  n  as  possible.  Ferro-con- 
crete,  while  it  has  made  for  economy  in  build- 
ing, has  not  greatly  expedited  the  process. 
What  is  known  as  ordinary  steel  construction 
hias  done  that.  You  have  steel  girders  and 
.stanchions  to  carry  all  the  stresses,  and  so  in 
very  quick  time  you  can  have  the  actual  struc- 
ture completed  with  simply  the  casing  to  be 
done." 


Dear,  Dear! — A  man  who  was  staying  at 
home  during  the  past  summer,  not  having 
received  his  weekly  letln  trom  his  wife, 
thought  he  would  be  smart  and  send  her  a 
quotation  from  the  Bible  that  would  suvely 
bring  a  letter  by  next  mail.  Not  having  a 
Bible  handy,  he  depended  on  his  memory  and 
wrote  as  follows : 
"My  Dear  Wife: 

"Proverbs   xx\.,    J4  "John." 

He  did  not  get  any  more  letters.  When 
his  wife  returned  he  asked  her  why  she  had 
not  written.  She  showed  him  his  quotation 
lie  looked  at  his  Bible  and  .said:

HOW    YUAN    AVOIDED    A    DEADLY 
HONOR 


We  receive  a  vivid  picture  of  Chinese 
character,  and  especially  of  the  diplomacy  of 
Yuan  Shi  Kai,  in  the  published  correspond- 
ence between  the  Premier  and  the  Court  that 
he  was  about  to  abandon.  A  student  of  Chin- 
ese has  made  the  "Iranslation  for  the  London 
Times,  and  the  document  is  likely  to  become 
'historical  since  it  records  what:  mast  have 
b«en  about  the  last  official  commw-iication 
between  Yuan  Shi  Kai  and  the  Empress  be- 
fore the  final  abdication  of  the  Manchu  dy- 
nasty and  Yuan's  election  as  President  of  the 
new  republic.  Li  it  we  read  the  Court's  fear . 
that  Yuan  is  about  to  desert  it,  and  its  flatter- 
ins:  attempt  to  attach  him,  and  to  announce 
to  the  Chinese  nation  that  Yuan  was  really 
.the  dictator  of  the  country,  and  that  the  Man- 
chi|  iJoHcy  was  his.  On"  the  other  hand,  we 
iitf^iliff  f%ji^^  siMit  these 

at»e  to  aecomptfeh  nothing,  and  who  clearly 
jfbresees  tlic  end  of  the  autocracy.  So  deftly 
id  tl}e  correspondence  worded  that  it  could  do 
Ynan  S^ii  |Cai  no  harm  with  the  revolution- 
isKk  nor  did  it  completely  betray  his  position 
to  Mie  Empresi^. 

The  Supreme  Honor 

The  occasion  of  the  correspondence  was 
the  attempt  of  the  Empress  Dowafi:er  to  con- 
fer flta  Yuan  Shi  Kai  the  honor  of  the  Nobility 
an  order  which  is  usually  translated  into  Eng- 
lish as  "Marquess."      The  Emperor  himself 


After  269  years  of  arbitrary  ruJc  the  Man- 
chu dynasty  has  at  last  bowed  to  the  popular 
will  of  the  Chinese.  It  was  in  1643  that  the 
Eastern  or  Manchu  Tartars  conquered  China 
proper  and  founded  the  Tsing  dynasty.  Since 
those  virile  days — the  same  as  those  during 
which  the  Parliament  was  figii'ing-  Charles  L 
--the  Manchu  rulers  and  princes  have  allowed 
the  canker  of  sloth  and  gilded  ease  to  enter 
their  palaces,  and  now  nfier  many  abortive 
attempts  and  seemingly  .a^aningless  struggles 


the  people  of  China  have  arisen  in  organized 
force  against  their  rules.  During  the  pait  de- 
cades it  is  evident  ••u'jiiv;  ui-inion  has  bcci 
glowing  to  a  very  iarg.i  extent  in  China,  and 
the  modernizing  of  her  armies  seems  to  have 
given  the  fateful  opportunity  to  the  secret  or- 
ganizers of  the  present  movement.  The  whole 
affair  resembles  very  closely  the  history  of  the 
recent  revolution  in  Turkey,  for  without  the 
aid  of  the  army  revolutions  are  hard  or  im- 
possible to  carry  out. ,  Here  again  troops   in 


hundreds  and  thousands  were  won  over  to  the 
new  movement  towards  a  constitution  and  to- 
wards indeed  a  demand  for  an  actual  repub- 
lic. Yuan  Shi  Kai,  the  last  prop  of  the  Man- 
chus,  has  endeavored  to  save  the  throne  from 
complete  extinction,  and  this  he  seem.s  to 
have  accomplished.  The  throne  is  certainly 
shorn  of  all  political  power,  but  it  still  remains 
a  kind  of  pontifex  maximus  which  may  still 
have  influence  but  no  arbitrary  power.— The 
Sphere.

it  is  very  rarely  indeed  that  the  Second' Ot'dei* : 
of  the  Nobility  is  conferred  even  on  Manchus. 
Li  Hung  Chang  was  granted  tliis  honor,  but 
it  was  bestowed  after  his  death.  In  their 
lifetime  Tsene  Kuo-fan,  the  great  leader  who 
crushed  the  Taiping  rebellion,  and  Tsq  Tsung- 
tang.  the  general  who  recaptured  Chinese 
Turkestan,  were  raised  to  the  rank  of  Mar- 
quis, but  it  is  many  years  since  any  other 
Chinese  has  been  approached  with  Such  digr 
nity.  On  January  26  the  Official  Gazette,  an- 
nounced that  Yuan  Shi  Kai  had  been  made  a 
member  of  the  Second  Order  of  Nobility. 

Yuan  Avoids  the  Honor 

The  decree  reads; 

"The  Prime  Minister,  Yuan  Shi  Kai,  is  a 
loyal  and  patriotic  statesman  who  has  served 
us  with  the  fullest  diligence.  Since  his  as- 
sumption of  office  he  has  planned  the  policy 
of  the  State,  and  come  to  the  rescue  of  the 
situation,  and  his  desert  is  very  great.  We 
hereby  confer  upon  him  the  Second  Order  of 
Nobility  in  order  that  our  signal  favor  may  be 
made  manifest.  He  is  not  permitted  to  de- 
cline" 

Next  morning  however  Yuan  Shi  Kai  did 
decline,  and  in  a  memorial  that  reviewed  the 
whole  course  of  the  revoluti'in.  He  welcom- 
ed the  opportunity,  apparently,  of  getting  his 
views  officially  in  evidence,  although  the  sit- 
uation was  a  difficult  one,  since  it  was  pre- 
cipitated at   a   time   when   he   was    parle^'ing 


finally  the  court  had  to  yield  and  to  with- 
draw an  honor  that  was  at  once  the  highest 
it  could  offer  and  the  last  it  was  to  have  the 
opportunity  of  bestowing.

FOR    UNITY    OF    CANADA 

The  Canadian  Idea  by  a  Canadian  who 
believes  in  Canada,  was  the  way  in  which  Mr. 
R.  Y.  Young,  of  Montreal,  designated  the 
lecture  delivered  to  the  Canadian  Club  of 
Toronto.  The  address  was  most  eulogistic, 
setting  forth  in  brilliant  hues  the  resources  of 
the  Dominion— "a  land  of  opportunity" — op- 
portunity that  would  be  conquered  by  the 
dominant  will  of  the  Canadian  people. 

"The  Canadian  Dominion  was  born  in 
1867,  but  not  discovered  till  thirty  years  later 
when  with  the  visit  of  Sir  Wilfrid  Laurier  to 
the  Jubilee  of  Queen  Victoria,  a  new  idea 
was  born — a  sentiment  all  our  own,  blended 
with  the  traditions  of  the  past  forming  that 
Canadian  idea  which  constitutes  the  Imperial 
idea  as  well."       :       -^

and  that  when  the  western  province*  libera 
tilled  to  their  full  capacity  they  wo^ld  have 
sufficient  grain  to  meet  the  needs  of  Canada 
and  five  times  the  quantity  that  Orcat'Brit-  ' 
ain  would  require. 

With  the  assistance  of  statistics  Mr.  Young 
showed  the  wonderful  development  of  the 
farming  industry,  and  as  an  illustration  of  the 
vastriess  of  this  great  western  country,  coirfi- 
dently  pointed  out  that  if  the  farmers  of  On- 
tario were  transplanted  into  a  belt  of  land 
thirtv  miles  wide  stretching  from  Winnipeg 

TO  Edmonton,  they  would  occupy  onc-UuiJ  of  

it.  and  have  then  a  quarter  of  a  Section  upon 
which  to  exercise  their  agricultural  pursuits.

during  the  period  of  his-enforced  retirement.  The  seated  figure  is  the  Premier's  uncle,  who  has  since  died.  At  the  time  the  picture  was  taken 
His  Excellency  was  suffering  from  injury  to  his  leg. 

The  Centre  Picture.— Armed  police  (in  dark  uniforms)  and  Chinese  soldiers  of  Y'uan-Shih-Kai  standing  outside  the  teashop  where  a  num- 
ber of  dynamiters  took  refuge  after  throwing  their  bombs  at  the  Chinese  Premier  while  driving  in  his  carriage.  The  teashop  was  completely 
wrecked' by  the  force  of  the  explosions. 

The  Lower  Picture.— The  Chinese  Amazon  Corps,  styled  in  their-Chinese  name  "the  Heroines  of  the  Red  Powder."  These  Amazon  are 
ladie-s,  mostly  students,  of  good  family,  who  were  accepted  after  much  deliberation  as  fighting  units  of  the  Chinese  Republic.  They  all  bear 
arms  and  have  been  undergoing  drill  in  Nankin  and  Shanghai. 


with  the  Republican  party.  It  was  necessary 
to  tread  delicately,  and  he  was  not  unequal  to 
the  task,  for  he  protested  that  in  the  month.** 
that  he  had  been  Prime  Minister  he  had  been 
able  to  accomplish  nothing,  and  that  his  guilt 
had  no  desert  save  death. 

Hoisting  the  White  Flag 
"The  dynasty  is  crumbling  into  dust,"  said 
Yuan  Shi  Kai,  "and  the  people's  love  is  in 
fragments  like  a  potsherd."  lie  went  on  to 
say  that  at  first  the  revolution  was  military 
in  character,  but  tiiat  it  soon  spread  to  the  of- 
ficial class  and  then  to  the  rest  of  the  popula- 
tion. Within  a  month  13  provinces  had  been 
lost.  His  own  desire  was  to  maintain  a  con- 
stitutional monarchy,  and  this  hope  seemed 
about  to  be  realized  when  the  Chili  troops  ac- 


quiesced, and  Shangtung  cancelled  its  declara- 
tion of  independence.  Then  the  muntiny  in 
the  navy  broke  out,  and  the  situation  was 
again  acute.  The  revolutionists  were  then 
negotiated  with  at  the  suggestion  of  a  friend- 
ly power,  but  they  refused  to  yield  a  jot  of 
their  demands,  From  every  side  poured  in  re- 
quests and  demands  for  a  National  Conven- 
tion, and  Yuan  beheld  with  grief  the  spec- 
tacle of  a  nation  alienated  from  its  sovereign. 
He  went  on  to  admit  in  circumstantial  detail 
the  plight  of  the  dynasty  at  the  moment.  It 
was  without  funds,  and  its  enemie.s  were  mul- 
tiply ing.  while  llicfc  Vi/as  nn  |»r05pcCt  of  its 
friends  increasing.  For  his  own  part  he  would 
remain  with  the  dynasty  that  had  heaped  fav- 
ors on  him,  but  he  insisted  that  it  would    be 


mere  mockery  for  him  to  accept  a  further 
honor  that  would  imply  that  he  had  solved  the 
])roblcm  he  had  been  called  on  to  deal  with. 
The  Last  Honor  Spurned 
Then  came  another  decree  waving  aside 
his  modest  protestations,  and  insisting  that 
he  should  accept.  Once  more  he  declined  in 
a  memorial  which  attempted  to  justify  his 
course  by  appeals  to  history.  Olice  more  an 
edict  was  issued,  thrusting  the  title  on  Yuan 
;m'l  notifying  him  that  lie  was  !■>  p.iy  due 
obedience  to  the  Imperial  authority.  ,'\gain 
he  refused,  and  for  the  fourth  lime  an  Imper- 
ial decree  bade  him  accept  the  honor.  His 
fourth  refu.-ial  was  based  on  religious  grounds 
and  prayed  that  the  titile  be  not  conferred 
until   the  situation  should   be  changed.       So

they  cannot  marry.  No  women  would  accept

>'    '(-rn  Jowrnalism  was  the  subject  of  an 
int.  interesting  and  instructive    address 

delivered  bv  Norman  HapROod,  editor  of  Col- 
lier's Weekly,"  before  an  exceedingly  largely 
attended  luncheon  of  the  Canadian  Club,  held 
i^^Otti»wa  recently.  Mr.  Hapgood,  who  is  one 
"  'wthe  best  known  of  the  modern  school  of 
jpurnalists,  proved  to  be  a  clever  and  witty 
speaker,  with  a  thorough  knowledge  of  his 
subject  matter. 

The  a^ancc  of  the  V«at  newspa^^^ 
the  United  States  from  that  state  known  as 
•*Y^Nr"  was  ably  described  by  the  sjieaker, 
\i*o  attributed  the  causes  for  the  change  to 
public  opinion,  and  a  demand  froin  the  finan- 
.  dal  supporters  of  the.papcrs,  the  advertisers, 
fbr  a  cleaner  and  saner  journalism  which 
would  appeal  to  all  classes  of  the  various  com- 
munities served  by  them.  That  the  big  dailies 
Of  the  United  States  had  still  a  long  way  to  go 
before  they  would  be  on  a  par  with  the  British 
newspaper  was  admitted  by  Mr.  Hapgood. 

He  said :  "There  are  something  like  19.000 
newspapers  scattered  through  the  United 
States.  The  influence  that  they  wield  is  en- 
ormous. Their  differences  are  almost  beyond 
exaggeration.  That  is  a  necessary  thing  to 
bear  in  mind  when  one  undertakes  to  general- 
ize in  a  short  space  of  time,  about  them.  I 
might  very  well  give  an  inaccurate  idea  of 
what  I  meant  and  I  am  very  likely  to  do  so  un- 
less some  of  you  gentlemen  take  me  up  after- 
wards  and  let  me  set  myself  right 


stock  market,  or  over  the  droppinjf  of  a  *H,'  for 
instance,  at  the  beginning  of  a  word,  than  they 
were  over  the  exact  amount  of  wages  that 
any  man  earned,  or  the  exact  efficiency  of  the 
public  school  system  or  a.iy  of  the  Other  matr 
ters  that  come  home  to  the  man,  woman  and 
child  who  have  really  to  struggle  for  their 
livelihood. 

"Now  these  newspapers  had  caught  the 
popular  idea  and  decided  to  speak  in  a  tone 
that  ordinary  people  would  have  to  listen  tp;  . 
jnvA  they  also  undertook  to  represent  the  inter- 
e^is  of  the  ordinary  peqpe.  For  the  first  time 
in  history  fhe  masses  had  a  champion.  So  that 
the  yellow  press  has  done  an  incalculable 
good  to- journalism  in  our  country.  It  has 
done  an  incalculable  good  in  two  ways  directly 
and  perhaps  even  more  indirectly,  because 
through  its  influence  has  sprung  up  a  kind  of 
journalism  which  is  neither  conservative  nor 
yellow.  It  has  made  the  old  style  conservative 
journalisms  more  liberal  than  they  were  be- 
fore, and  through  it,  perhaps,  througii  the 
marriage  of  the  two,  has  sprunj^  up  a  projrres- 
sive  and  liberal  and  sympathetic  journalism, 
which  at  the  same  time  avoids  the  raw  faults 
of  the  yellow  journalism  from  which  it  wa^^ 
born. 

A  Broader  Outlook 
"The  faults  of  yellow   journalism  are  dim- 
inishing.    They  are  diminishing  for  a  perfect- 
ly  unescapablc  business   reason.     The   yellow 
journalism   seeks   first   of   all   circulaticm.      It 


gets  an  enormous  circulation  rather  easily. 
However  it  has  to  be  sold  for  one  cent.  It  is 
found  that  when  it  is  sold  for  one  cent  that  the 
one  cent  does  not  pay  for  the  manufacture  of 
the  paper.  Therefore,,  the  larger  the  circula- 
tion the  more  it  loses  except  for  the  advertis- 
ing. Now  men  are  not  going  to  advertise  in 
a  paper  all  the  clientele  of  which  is  uneducat- 
ed. That  kind  of  clientele  won't  have  pur- 
chasing power.  Therefore  the  yellow  journals 
realize  that  their  advertising  is  going  to  be 
all  of  a  cheap  kind  and  litnited  in  quantity  un- 
less they  h^ge  a  bit.  So  the  last  ten  years 
especially  h^  seen  a  diminution  in  the  ex- 
treme of  sensftttonaliil^m.  . 

"Take  a  Hearst  pap<r  today.  Take  the  New 
York  American  and  compare  that  with  the 
Hearst  paper  of  say  fen  years  ago,  and  it  will 
look  positively  Botirlion.  like  the  extreme  con- 
servative paper,  ill  iairt ,.  ttot  only  in  its  appear- 
ance but  in  the  amount  of  actual  newsit  gives. 
Only  about  a  w^ck.beforc  I  came  h^re  1  s^w  an 
announcement  in  the  Hear.«»t  papers  that  they, 
were  going  to  .|ri|v«  up  their  objectionable 
quack  and  pate^^fldidite  advertising.     Now 


anybody  who  knOws  the  Hearst  papers  docs 
not  think  they  would  approve  of  doing  that 
for  the  welfare  of  the  community.  When  the 
Hearst  papers;  do  it,  it  i.s  because  they  icali/.e 
that  tlie  di'ift  .of  business  is  that  way,  and  that 
they  cannot  get  the  best  of  adverti.siug  if 
they  keep  the  worst. 

Journals  of  Force 

"As  exatnples  of  the  kind  of  journalism 
that  has  been  brought  into  life  by  the  inter- 
action of  these  two  forces  3  vi^uid  like  to 
mention  about  three  newspapers  that  give 
specific  examples  in  my  own  country  of  papers 
that  are  nobly  carrying  out  the  pdssibilitlei* 
of  journalism  today.  Perhaps  tlie  most  hope- 
less city  politically  and  eopnomically  in  the 
United  States  lintilvvithin  the  last  year  or  SO 
was  Philadelphia,  and  yet  Philadelphia  was 
able  to  shake  off  that  combination  of  business 
and  politics  and  indifference  which  had 
brought  it  to  the  state  it  was  iti.  and  iiistituted 
a  genuine,  strong,  reform  government. 

"Pcnn.syivania  is  doing  better  than  most  of 
the  States  in  such  important  reforms  that 
come  into  every  home  as  the  enforcement  of 
the  pure  food  laws.  That  coidd  not  have  been 
brought  about  hut  for  tJiic  thing.  It  would 
have  been  a  lon^^  long  time  before  that  change 
wtuiM  have  taken  place  in  Pennsylvania  had  it 
not  been  fur  the  strength  and  c<nirage  of  the 
Philadelphia  -North  .\merican.  There  is  a 
paper  that  is  making  history,  a  j)a!>er  that  is 
as  great  as  any  old  lo^cy  paper  in  the  United 


States — sound,  well  mlormeil.  l>ut  at  the  same 
time  it  knows  how  to  talk  tu  the  people  in  the 
people's  language.  It  gives  up  the  old  fash- 
ioned pedantries  and  gets  right  dovvn  to  hard 
facts  on  every  proposition  that  comes  before 
it 

"I  stippose  the  most  influential  paper  in 
the  Middle  West,  and  possibly  the  most  in- 
fluential paper  in  the  long  run  in  the  Unite<l 
States  is  the  Kansas  City  Star.  That  has 
been  inseparable  from  the  fact  that  Kansas 
and  that  part  of  the  United  States  have  been 
in  some  respects  the  leaders  in  social  pro- 
gress in  our  country.  You  cannot  tell  just 
how  far  the  enlightenment  and  freedom  of 
Kansas  made  the  Kansas  City  Star  what  it  is 
an<i  to  what  extent  the  Star  made  Kansas 
what  it  is.  For  thirty  years  it  has  consistent-^ 
ly  refused  to  do  anything  that  meant  money 
at  the  sacrifice  of  integrity,  and  it  is  one  of 
the  cheerful  facts  in  the  world  that  while 
honesty  alone  does  not  go  very  far  honesty 
combined  with  a  good,  sub.ttantiaf  amount  of 
ability  is  perfectly  sure  to  be  successful  in

The  New  Journalism 

"There  is  one  othjC  rcf feet  of  this  new 
journalism  that  I  want  to  speak  of.  I  thitik 
It  will  be  clear  in  Canada,  though  the  circum- 
stances will  necessarily  !ne what  different 
from  those  in  the  United  .biates.  The  United 
States  has  been  behind  the  leading  countries 
of  Europe.  It  has  been  far  behind  Australia; 
it  is  very  very  far  behind  v/here  England  ha.s 
been  broitght  under  Lloyd  George  in  social 
legislation,  in  an  understanding  of  the  needs 
of  industry  and  especially  of  the  laboriiig 
cia^S  itt  Indttstry.  \Ve  were  not  ahle  to  get 
iror*  4w5»delolttowing  the  Civil  Wan  Q»^ 
iites-^bitf  iEt^^ealihasift  of  Igrappl^g^  With  these' 
questicMts  of  absblute  hunwMf 'weSarei  •  There 
wcTe  the  old  fashioned  reciprocal  insults  of 
politics. 

"Now  the  whole  situation  in  no  small  de- 
gree is  due  to  the  fact  that  this  new  specie-* 
of  journali.sm  that  has  grown  up  is  entirely 
different.  Wp  deal  with  realities  now.  We 
■  discus^  such  things  as  employers'  liabilit;^-. 
the  rate  of  wages  and  the  number  of  hours 
for  people  to  work  in  certain  industries,  the 
proper  relation  of  the  bench  to  the  legislature, 
the  question  of  whether  some  of  the  restric- 
tions of  our  constitutions  have  not  been  out- 
grown and  so  on. 

"The  questions  that  are  interesting  the 
American  i)eople  today  more  than  any  others 
are  two  kinds:  they  are  either  industrial  con- 
ditions  or  they  ore  direct   government  (pies- 


all  the  people  have  to  do  is  to  say  which  they 
will  prefer  of  two  men,  neither  of  whom  they 
may  want  at  all,  The  fact  that  th^-  popular 
ncwspa^pcrs  have  been  very  largcl ;  r ( at 

ors  of  this  new  political  independence  is  one 
of  the  biggest  things  to  fh>^W  credit'  The 
magazines  lead  the  new  in  this  respect 

as  they  have  led  in  independence.  That  does 
not  mean  that  the  men  connected  with  the 
magazines  are  any  more  honest  or  of  a  highei- 
type  than  the  inen  connected  with  the  news- 
Piperis.  It  merely  means  that  they  having  u 
national  field  it  is  a  ereat  deal  eiasier  for  then* 
ipi  jfree  themselves  from  the  evits  which  still 
threatens  them.  /.^ 

Dictating  Influencea  ' "  "  . 

"My  general  attitude  is  entirely  optimislie' 
but  I  do  not  want  to  leave  out  of  account  th»» 
fact  that  there  are  very  great  evils  still  to  be 
overcome  in  the  newspaper  world.  They  have 
not  all  been  put  before  the  public  yet,  but  a 
great  many  of  them  have.  The  connections 
between  certain  obvious  forces  and  the  news- 
papers is  generally  understood.  We  spoke 
here  this  afternoon  about  the  patent  medicine 
influence.  That  was  the  strongest  and  most 
direct  that  existed.  The  patent  medicine  peo- 
ple spent  a  million  dollars  a  year  in  advertis- 
ing. The  consequence  was  that  they  told  edi- 
tors all  over  the  United  States  what  to  do. 
They  went  further  than  that ;  they  sent  tele- 
grams to  Washington,  telling  representatives 
in  Washington  whether  to  vote  for  or  against

Napoleon  Bonaparte  said,  even  in  his  day, 
that  he  feared  three  newspapers  more  than  he 
feared  100,000  men.  A  well  known  American 
agitator.  Garrison,  said  that  before  the  Civil 
War  the  penny  papers  had  more  real  power 
than  the  government  at  Washington.  If  that 
Was  true  then,  you  can  imagine  how  much 
truer  it  is  now.  It  is  extremely  difficult  to  ex- 
a|^erate — not  ihe  direct  power  of  the  news- 
papers; that  is  not  so  great  as  it  is  usually 
considered ;  but  it  is  extremely  difficult  to  ex- 
aggerate the  indirect  power.  They  are  in  a 
dertain  sense  the  very  air  that  we  all  breathe, 
^hey  create  the  atmosphere  of  our  thoughts. 
They  are  the  medium  through  which  we  get 
our  most  important  information.  Some  of  you 
gentlemen  have  opinions  of  a  great  many  sub- 
jects, and  some  of  you  are  able  to  get  the  sour- 
cses  at  first  hand.  Some  few  of  you  arc  able  to 
sfee  the  men  who  are  doing  the  thingfs,  what- 
ever the  to^ic  may  be ;  but  that  is  the  great 
exception.  The  most  of  us  have  to  fake  the 
newspapers  as  our  starting  point..  They  are 
the  premises.  If  the  premises  that  are  given 
to  us  are  not  sound  the  conclusion  cannot  be 
sound. 

"A  great  question,  and  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant questions  in  our  social  life  today  is  this 
Whether  the  one  g^eat  medium  of  information 
the  one  great  machine 'for  furnishing  the  peo- 
ple the  premises  on  which-  they  shall  decide 
atl  the  important  questioite.  before  them — whe- 
ther this  great  organization  is  doing  its  work 
as  it  ought  to  do  it.  The  newspapers  as  an  in- 
stitution whatever  one  may  say  for  them  or 
against  them,  are  absolutely  essential.  Demo- 
cratic government  could  not  exist  without 
them. 

"Modern  journalism  is  something  very  dis- 
tinct from  what  journalism  was  half  a  century 
ago.  The  leading  American  editor  at  the  time 
of  the  Civil  War  was  Horace  Greeley  and 
Horace  Greeley  would  not  employ  young  peo- 
ple who. had  been  to  college.  He  said  he  want- 
ed for  his  staff  men  who  had  grown  up  in 
the  office — boys  who  had  slept  on  bales  of 
.newspapers  and  eaten  ink.  fs'owadays  it  is 
very  hard  to  get  the  postion  of  even  cub  re- 
porter unless  you  have  had  a  decidedly  su- 
perior education.  It  is  strange  that  improve- 
ment in  the  intellectual  preparatioiii  of  thie  per- 
soiiihel  shotild  have  taken  placel  jl|t  the  very 
time  that  the,  nevirspaper  has  to  f&ffih  a  i^tleh 
less  cultivated  audience.  In  Grc«'ley*s  time 
the  newspaper  was  written  for  ;th»5  few,  It 
virift  written  for  what  you  might  roughly  call

tions.  Direct  government  questions  interest 
the  western  part  of  our  coiintry  beyond  the 
understandinfg  of  anybody  who  lives  along 
the  Atlantic  seaboard.  They  feel  that  the  con- 
stitution as  it  has  been  interpreted  by  the 
States  has  become  a  material  obstacle  to  the 
expression  of  the  popular  v/ill. 

"Therefore  they  introduce  such  things  as 
the  Initiative,  which  means  that  the  people,  if 
they  are;  not  satisfied  with  the  laws  their  rep- 
resentatives make,  can  make  them  themselves 
the  Referendum,  which  means  that  the  people 
can  unmake  laws  by  their  representatives; 
the  Recall,  which  they  apply  even  td;  judges, 
and  Dtrhich  ^eans  that  if  th^  get  sbmebody 
in  a  'situation  which  he  is  not  filling  satisfac- 
torily ihey  can  haul  him  baok  again.  And 
now  the^r  are  fighting  particularly  to  choose 
their  own  presidents.  Of  course  they  do  not 
choose  them  now.  They  chgtose  between,  two 
but  one  pttrty  pats  up'  some  man  who^^  not 
necessarily  the  people's  choice,  and  the  other 
party  puts  up  a  man  who  may  not  be  the 
people's  choice.    He  is  the  party  choice.    So

Yellow  Journalism 

"Mr.  Pulitzer,  and  other  imaginative  men, 
conceived  the  idea  of  making  a  newspaper  that 
sliould  represent  that  great  uneducated  mass 
That  was  the  birth  of  yellow  journalism.  'Yel- 
lf)w  journalism,'  is  very  often  used  as  a  term 
>  >{  reproach,  often  as  a  term  of  praise.  It  could 
almost  equally  be  used  either  way.  It  has  had 
■  normous  faults.  It  still  has  enormous  faults. 
!  t  fills  the  reader's  mind  with  a  certain  murk- 
mess  of  atmosphere,  a  certain  vileness,  a  cer- 
tain lack  of  truthful  shading,  because  its  ob- 
ject is  to  make  a  sharp  sensation  .at  any  price. 

"On  the  other  hand,  it  has  been  a  great  lib- 
.  rating  influence.  The  newspapers  of  half  a 
cntury  ago  were  class  publications  that  had 
;i()  intimate  realization  of  how  the  working- 
man  lived  or  what  he  cared  for.  They  were

At  this  mofiKint  Th<»iife^  Hardy,  who  wil* 
celebrate  his  73iid  birthdayin  June  next,  is  the 
most  famous  aadf,the' lea.«)t  personally  known 
man  in  EngliBhJetters.  He  is  at  once  one  of 
the  wealthiest,  and  perhaps  the  most  humble 
living  of  all  well  known  writers.  He  has  lately 
emerged  from  his  retreat  so  far  as  to  direct  the 
production  at  J^urchesLer  of  hia  Sussex  dramas, 
.says  the  Montreal  Herald. 

"Max  Gali^"  ittsr  home,  stands  ouU»de  Dor- 
chester, wluere  #ie' town  has  been  left  behind 
and  wooded  hi\h  and  naked  coombs  begin  to 
stretch  aw4y  into  the  distance.  It. is  a  little 
red  brick  hop^e^.  covered  Over  with  vines  and 
creepers,  and  only  two  stories  high,  if  one  does 
not  count  the  square  towers  which  rise  on  each 
side  of  the  bt|0ding^  -There  are  white  gates 
on  the  road  9|0jl  a-  cunningly-twi.sted  little 
"drive"  wt^^;p(|Bli^^  of  tall  shrubbery  in  the 
middle  maI^«f'^m^9ife,p<^«$i|:allY  invisible  in 
one  who  trav«s  ^U6  far  to  ^ee  a  great  man's 
house. 

The  house  is  comparatively  modern — Mr. 
Hardy  built  it  not  very  many  years  ago — and 
though  it  has  no  resemblance  whatever  to  the 
farmstead  homes  that  its  owner  lias  loved  to 


write  abottt^and  nothing  of  the  .proportions  oT 
a  mansion,  yet  it  presents  the  maximii'si  degree 
of  refinement  with  the  niininuim  degree  of 
size.  A  little  white  hall  is  ju.st  within  the  door, 
and  one  turns  from  that  to  a  larger  hall.  Then, 
rig^t  and  left,  are  two  almost  .spacious  rooms — > 
'llliit'^^iaiii^lM'^om  and  the  drawing-room.  Up- 
stairs, Mt.  !Hardy-.has  his  study,  and  itito  that 
dahctum  few  of  even  his  most  personal  friends 
have  ever  entered. 

Y?t  Mr.  Hardy  is  not  exactly  the  recluse 
that  some,  ini|pht  imagine.  )  He  is  rather  the 
man  whoj^|i^l^:«ttode3t,  so  utterly  retiring,  and 
lives  buried,  as  it  were,  in  so  remote  a  spot; 
that  few  people  ever  attempt  to  beard  him  in 
his  den.  It  is  well  known,  however,  that  many 
a  young  American  lady  has  marched  boldly 
through  the  white  gates  of  "Mux  Gate,"  pulled 
the  bell  chain  at  the  front"  door,  asked  to  sec 
Mr.  Hardy  and  has  been  rewarded  with  a  brief 
but  altogether  delightful  interivew.  Many 
other  people  have  handed  a  "Hardy  book"  to 
the  servant  at  the  di  ,.r  .tid  asked  if  the  author 
would  be  so  kind  as  to  sign  it.  They  never 
have  been  refused. 

The  fact  remaitis  that  Mr.  Hardy  cannot  bo 
termed  sociable.  Even  his  oldest  friends  need 
.some  excuse  when  they  call  upon  him,  and  qtift 
his  presence  aS-soon  as  the  excuse  is  cvhaustcd.. 
He  has  not,  in  fact,  many  personal  friends,  al- 
though his  unknown  ones  must  be  numbered 
in  tens  of  thousands. 

This  was  a  writer's  own  experience  when  he

who  had  been  my  constant  friend,  although  a 
stranger.  A  smalt  letter  card  came  back,  "I 
shall  be  at  home  if  you  care  to, call  at  three 
o'clock  on  the  afternoon  of  Friday."  I  took 
train  from  London  to  Salisbury  with  my  bicy- 
cle, and  Friday  morning  found  me  pedaling 
through  the  hilly,  narrow,  leafy  lane.s  which 
divide  the  goo^  uM  t<arw.n  of  SaU:»bi^^ry-Xrom  ^fe 
better  old  i^^viik  of  Dorchester-  Ati|  what  a 
sight  is  the  approach  by^'the  highway  tt>  any 
one  of  these  fine  "old  cities! 

I  had  been  looking  anxiously,  out  for  a  true 
Dorset  peasant  and  now,  I  met  one — a  wither- 
ed old  man  cutting  the  hedged—and  I,  a^ke^ 
him,  wbat  was  the  monument  that  I  cpuld  see. 
/•That?"  he  said.  "Oh,  that  be; the  Hardy 
Tower,  master." 

"The  Hardy  ToWer?"  I  echoed,  for  I  had 
heard  th:»t  the  vyorld-famcd  novelist  was 
scarcely  appreciated,  like  all  prophets,  in  his 
ovv:n  country.    "What  Hardy?" 

"I  don't  know,  master,"  but  the  writing  on  it 
saysl  'iThomas  Hardy.*  I've  been  np*n,  but  I 
only  knows  that  much." 

"I  was  amazed  and  questioned  him  further. 
"Was  it  the  Thoniks  Hardy  who  wrote  books 


im- 


and  llvdd  at  Dbrchestei'?"  Btit  the  old  W4« 
didn't  know.  "Very  likely  it  was,"  he  said, 
"but  he'd  never  heard  of  no  such  gentleman." 

I  was  anxious  to  settle  the  mystery  of  that 
tower  on  the  downs,  and  made  enquiries  ac- 
cordingly. 

The  stationery  shop-keeper  laughed  at  the 
question.  "It's  a  monument,''  he  tohl  me, 
"erected  nearly  a  hundred  years  ago  to  the 
Captain  Thomas  Hardv  in  whose  arms  Nelson 
died  on  board  the  Victory;  a  distant  relative, 
it's  supposed,  of  our  Thomas  Hardy.  I'm  often 
asked  the  question,  and  it's  safe  to  make  thi.« 
prediction,  that  in  another  hundrecl  years  no 
one  will  believe  that  it's  anyj^o^y's  monumept 
but  the  novelist's.  It  will  be'useless  to  argue 
to  the  contrary." 

The  door  was  opened  by  a  young  servant 
girl  who_seeme<J  the  verv  embodiment  of  Mr.

\vas  expecting  me  and  took  me  into  a  bright 
room  where  1  had  fitne  enough  to  look  about 
me.  I  saw  that  the  furniture  was  all  the  hand- 
somest of  old  English  and  that  the  few  pic- 
tures on  the  walls  were  by  the  younger  modern 
artists,  such  as  exhibit  at  the  famous  New  F.ngr- 
li.sh  Art  Club.  It  did  not  at  all  seem  an  old 
man's  room,  (^n  a  polished  table  under  the 
window  was  si)read  a  copy  of  an  illustrated 
weekly  inaagzine,  and  the  sun  tonrhof!  and 
emblazoned  a  bowl  of  wild  poppic 

"I'm  very,  pleased  to  see  you,"  he  said  ner- 
vously, offering  me  lii'^  li.jnd  "\\'..!i*f  vou  sit

Mr.  Hardy  replied,  his  voice  turiourfy  halting,

answer  to  my  question. 

I  had  the  tenderness  of  his  nature  best,  per- 
haps, when  he  spoke  of  the. passion  that  we' 
call  "love."  "Love  is  tragic,"  he  said,  "but  it  is 
very  beautiful."  And  few  writers  have  ever* 
made  it  seem  a  thing  more  beautiful  than  he 
has.

he  should- prosecute  Brown  under  the  game

At  the  conclusion  of  hh  aW^VMr.  I^ap- 
good  declared  himself  open  for  questions. 

"W^ould  you  take  any  university  man  on 
your  staff?"  he  was  asked. 

•Certainly  not.  About  99  out  of  100  we 
would  have  nothing  to  do  with,"  he  replied. 
and  to  another  <iuestion  as  to  the  training 
necessary  he  answered,  ".Simply  that  the  qual- 
ities most  necessary  are  honesty,  general  in- 
telligence and  the  ability  to  use  the  Englisli 
language." 

To  a  further  query,  Mr.  Hapgood  stated 
that  the  third  paper  he  had  in  mind  and  might 
not  have  mentioned  at  the  time  he  was  speak- 
ing was  the  Springfield  Republican.  "Not 
only  was  the  Springfield  Repubhcan  ihe  only 
paper  in  Massachui.ctts  that  spoke  out  un  the 
patent  medicine  story,"  he  said,  "but  it  was 
the  only  paper  outside  of  J^ostnn  that  was  not 
nought  up  by  the  public  utility  companies  ar 
the  time  that  the  argunu-iit  way  going  on  be- 
tween citizens'  organizations  and  these  com-

made." 

To  a  question  rcgartling  the  three  great 
New  York  papers,  the  Herald,  World,  ,  and 
American,  the  speaker  said  that  they  had  re- 
cently become  more  res|)cctable,  but  would 
not  go  further  along  this  line  than  they  were 
forced  by  their  patrons. 

Again  referring  to  the  employment  of  uni- 
versity graduates,  he  (pjalified  his  statement 
by  saying  that  while  only  about  one  out  of  a 
hundred  of  t'ncm  wtmul  liia'nc  r-ixli.-siactufy 
newspapermen,  only  about  one  out  of  a  thous-

A  FIGHT     WITH  A   LION 

(This  is  an  account  of  an  adventure  while 
lion  hunting  in  British  East  Africa,  given  to 
hte  w/iter  by  the  hero  of  the  exploit,  Mr;  H. 
Clarkson  Williams.)    , 

It  was  in  the  summer  of  1909  tha«  a^siValU 
iirty  of  us,  Mr.  F.'  C.  Selous,  Mjt.  W,  N.  Me^:

vicinity  of  Moitnt  Elgin,  just  over  the  Gwasin 
Cishit  plateau,  east  of  tht  Victoria  Nyanza, 
and  Were  looking  forward  to  a  good  hunt,  for 
we  were  right  on  the  best  ground. 

The  day  after  our  arrival  I  went  out  to  "lay 
down"  a  few  hartebeestes,  ready,  as  1  fondly 
hoped,  for  the  next  day's  kill.  1  never  expect- 
ed to  see  lion  at  once,  and,  therefore,  my  sur- 
prise can  be  imagined  when,  about  four  in  the 
afternoon,  a  big  one  passed  along  on  my  right. 
It  was  but  a  few  minutes  after  my  first  kill 
of  hartebeeste,  and  he  was  walking  about  300 
yards  away,  in  the  same  direction  as  myself. 

I  can  best  describe  the  country  by  saying 
that  it  was  something  like  an  English  park 
land,  being  more  or  less  bushy,  and  the  beast 


,  ful  eye  on  the  patch  of  cover,  where  it  was 
possible  the  lion  was  lying,  when  I  got  into 
a  little  clearing.  I  at  once  stood  up,  it  being 
my  intention  to  go  straight  in  to  the  wounded 
beast,  who  was  then  about  200,  yards  away, 
and  get  a  close  shot  at  him.      .    -      -       v  '  ) .. 

But  he  settled  that  for  me,  for  befoirc  I  had 
moved  a  yard  he  was  out  of  his  cover  and 
coming  IbwUrds  me  like  a  race  hoWf  Th^Cfft

His  pace  was  tremendous,  and  the  distance 
between  us  was  but  the  matter  of  a  few  sec- 
onds to  him.  He  came  on,  growling,  and  no- 
body knows,  except  those  who  have  been  face 
to  face  with  a  similar  situation,  how  terrify- 
ing is  the  lion's  giowl  when  he  is  charging. 
I  held  back  for  a  space,  not  d.iring  to  fire  at 
once,  but  waiting  until  he  was  within  fifty  or 
sixty  yards  of  ;ne,  v\hen  I  let  hitn  have  it.  Had 
!  not  been  so  v.onliK^*ent  ilia'.  I  "Culd  get  him, 
I  should  have  waited  until  he  was  practically 
on  my  barrels — especially  as  the  only  .450  car- 
tridges that  I  knew  I  had  were  in  my  rifle, 
those  in  my  breast  pockets  being  all  .350. 


moved  slowly  and  easily  along,  now  in  sight 
and  now  hidden  behind  bushes..  And  though 
he  walked  leisurely,  all  the  time  his  tail  was 
switching  to  and  fro,  ample  indication  that  his 
king!  hip  had  been  disturbed  and  was  angry. 

M.y  two  "boys"  were  between  two  or  three 
hundredi  yards  in  my  rear,  and  I  was  walking 
quite  alone.  They  had  my  guns,  and  kept 
late  with  me  .keying  instinctively  >.">  cover 
as  tisey  followed.  I  gave  my  usual  signal  for 
ilmib  to  cbme  close  up,  by  holding  up  my 
hitid,  Slid  when  they  reached  me  I  exchanged 
thie  '^•SSP  which  1  was  carrying  for  the  .450 
w^eh  one  of  them  had.  JThen.  with  a  word 
of^^ftrikniing  to  them  to  keep  behind,  I  com- 
ntiiCfdlo  stalk  chc  lion,  walking  roughiy  in 
titi  liitte  direction  as  the  beast,  but  always 
'WsnfsiB^s^3:y^  to  the  right,  on^  as  it  were,  the 
(^^QSMt  1in«  (^f  bis  track,  and  what  had  been^ 
rii^  own,  i  had  to  travel  very  carefully,  and 
tsJce  what  cover  I  could,  but  gradually  I  made 
wti^  on  him,'  until  I  must  have  gained  quite 
1O6  yjirds  upon  him 

l^^^m  known  I  was  after  him,  ytt; 

he  msver  looked  round,  keeping  steadily  oh 
hlff  course,  and  being  now,  as  I  had  walked 
toiflirds  him  on  the  slant,  somewhat  to  .thy 
v^tf Totstf  It  wis  evident  that  he  did  not 
Wisht  to  have  anything  to  do  with  me,  for 
though  I  stbc^  right  up  in  the  open  occas' 
ipnally  to  attract  his  attention,  he  refused  to 
honw  me  by  a  single  glance,  or  to  alter  his 
pace  or  direction  one  iota. 

At  last.  I  decided  liot  to  wait  any  longer, 
httt  to  stop  him  somehow,  so,  standing  up,  I 
cjappf d  the  palm  of  one  hand  across  the  back 
ot  iU^  other. 

.  '  #his  brought  Leo  roumd  with  a  jerk,  for  he 
tttra«d  .a^^  me    squarely,  and  so  we 

ffiti^  and  looked  at  each  other  i  while  a  man 
mignt  ccrnnt  ten.  A  frontal  shot  at  a  1>ig  lion 
is  fare^  Vtfcr;^  duccessful  if  the  beast  is  more 
than  Ctighty  yards  away,  and  therefore  I  did 
not  lilt  at  •ncevbut  endeavored  to  move  round 
»0  aa>|c^  be  j^.the!flanV  of  my  quarry,  a  much 
"  more  satisfactory  position  from  which  to 
Ahoot. 

Apparently  .his  majesty  was  either  nervous 
or  contemptuous  bl  me.  for  he  suddenly  got 
up,  turned  right  round,  and  began  to  make  off 
at  a  very  fast  walk. 

Lmade  sure  that  Z  was  going  to  lose  him/ 
and,  in  my  eagemeaStJgnoredtiu^  fact  that  he 
was  now  with  hia  hadk  towards  im^  in  a  very 
had  position  indeed  so  far  as  the  chance  of 
bringing;  him  down  was  concerned,  .«ed  I  let

My  first  shot  missed  his  slujuhlei   by    a 

few  inches  only.  I  did  not  wait,  but  fired 
again  on  the  instant,  and  this  time  1  hit  him. 
Unluckily  it  was  only  a  flesh  wound,  and  not 
a  telling  sKot— the  bullet  went  through  the 
muscle  of  >iis.  shoulder,  but  djd  not  touch  any 
bone— -and  of  course,  it  did  not  stop  him. 


body,  my  bead  beiuy  c\\.nu-  close  to  his  hind 
legs.  All  the  time  1  clung  tightly  on  to  my 
rifle.  • 

The  lion  then  picked  me  up  by  my  leg  and 
slung  me  first  one  way  and  then  another. 
Then  he  shook  me  like  a  rat.  I  felt  that  I 
was  a  dead  man.  Chance  of  escape  there  was 
none,  and  such  mortal  fear  had  seized  me  that 
all  other  feeling  seemed  to  have  left  me.  I  felt 
lio  pain  at  all,  except  when  he  actually  piit 
his  teeth  right  iftto  mc  I  lelt  i»|her  like  a 
man  who  Was  being  ki^ed  Iqitbuy  on  the

After  a  miniifte  or  so  I  heard  my  gun-bear- 
er's voice  over  my  shoulder  speaking  to  me  as 
I  lay  under  the  lion.  He  was  telling  me,  in 
his  dialect,  that  he  did  not  know  how  to  fire 
the  rifle  he  was  holding,  the  safety  bglt  be- 
ing turned  over.  I  told  him  to  hand  the  rifle 
to  rue,  and  then  I  found  that  the  weight  of 
the  lion  pressing  on  me  prevented  me  drop- 
ping my  own  rifle,  which  1  still  held  with  my 
right  hand,  so  I  had  to  struggle  to  turn  the 
bolt  for  him  with  my  left.  This  I  at  last  man- 
aged to  do.  and  the  "boy  "  withont  waiting  to 
put  the  rifle  to  his  shoulder  immediately  fired 
straight  in  through  the  ribs  of  the  lion.  He 
evidently  did  not  dare  to  take  a  shot  further 
forward  for  fear  of  killing  me,  as  the  beast 
still  hu.sy  with  my  kg.

In  February  and  March  there  is  very  good 
fishing  for  spring  salmon  and  grilse  here,  the 
salmon  caught  at  this  time  of  year  seeming  to 
be  much  more  lively  for  some  reason  than 
those  which  run  in  the  fall  and  playing  at  or 
near  the  surface  instead  of  doing  quite  so  much 
sulking  in  the  depths. 

The  salmon-trolling  in  the  fall  needs  no; 
very  lengthy  description,  as,  of  course,  at  this 
season  of  the  fisherman's  year  salmon  are  to

is,  however,  a  noted  place  for  the  capture  of 
heavy  spring  salmon,  which  run  up  the  Cow- 
ichan  River  in  great  numbers,  not  quite  such 
large  fish  as  are  caught  at  Campbell  River 
and  other  well-known  resorts  further  afield, 
but  still  more  or  less,  frequently  caught  bf  a 
weight  of  over  thirty  pounds.  The  one  thing 
necessary  to  success  with  these  fall  monsters 
is  an  early  rise,  as,'  after  the  sun  is  well  up, 
they  seem  to  absolutely  refuse  to  bite  at  .a 
spoon.  In  the  spring  or  rather  late  winter, 
however,  it  does  not  seem  to  be  so  necessary  to 
tear  oneself  from  the  warm  blankets  in  the* 
semi-darkness,  though,  taken  as  a  general  rule, 
morning  and  evening  are  the  best  times  to  try 
for  "springs."

WHAT'S  DOING  FOR  THE  SPORTS-

March  26— Opening  of  the  trout-fishing 
season.  • 

Shooting  season  has  now  closed  for 
everything  on  the  mainland.  On  Van- 
couver Island  and  adjacent  islands  you 
may  still  shoot  geese,  if  you  can  get  them. 

Brant  geese  are  plentiful  on  the  shores 
of  Vancouver  Island.  Decoys  are  almost 
an  absolute  necessity,  also  a  special 
knowledge  of  their  haunts.  Gomox  and 
Denman  Island,  the  best  J<nown  resorts 
for  brant-shooters.  Sooke,  Sidney,  James 
Island,  other  well-known  resorts.  Dis- 
covery Island  sometimes  affords  good 
ippl't  in  the  migrating  season,  a  little  later,

But  this  last  dose  vva.<v  sufficient,  though  it^ 
did  not  kill,  for  the  lion  at  once  jumped  off 
me  and  rolled  a  few  yards  to  the  right.  Only 
half  conscious  of  what  I  was  doing,  I  put  my 
hand  to  my  hip  pocket,  and,  to  my  surprise, 
found  that  I  had  two  .450  cartridges  there. 


the  time  of  year  when  the  hot  sun  on  the  lovy 
water  of  the  rivers  makes  it  imperative  for 
the  river  angler  to  catch  his  fish  either  in  the 
early  morn  or  else  as  the  sujn  is  sinking  to  rest, 
as,  speaking  generally,  it  is  waste  of  time  to 


firat  shot  missed  him.  biit  the  seccwid  ¥s»^ 

better  directed,  and  hit  him  low  down  in  the 
rump,  causing  him  to.  squat  down  sharply — 
much  as  a  dog  does,  only  that  his  tail  was 
stretched  straight  put  along  the  ground— and 
to  set  up  a  dreadfid  bellpwing.   * 

There  was  a  sniall  thicket  just  in  irpn^ 
him,  and  before  I  could  get  it]i,another.  shot,  he 
sprang  to  his  feet  and  rushed  madly  into  this 
scrub,  Here  I  could  no  Ibnjger  see  him  dearly 
all  the  time,  but  I  noticed  he  rolled  over  and 
over  like  a  beast  in  his  death  agony,  and  ;I 
stood  for  a  few  seconds  considering  how  best 
to  finish  him. 

A  badly  wounded  lion  is  not ,  good  com- 
pany at  close  quarters,  so  I  took  cowgtjjwl^ 
myself  before  1  started  on  anything  SO  1^^ 
as  to  rush  in  and  finisli  him  off.  /Hie  country 
before  me  to  the  right,  where  the  stricken  atji- 
mal  was  rolling  aboftt  and  also  the  country 
on  my  direct  right,  was,  just  hereabouts, 
densely  covered,  and  I  soon  realized  that  to 
attempt  to  stalk  him  in  either  of  these  two 
directions  would  be  giving  him  a  better  chance 
ih,Tn  i  cared  about  if  he  wanted  to  be  nafety. 
For  the  Tnoment  I  was  at  fault,  until  I  saw, 
a  little  ahead  of  me  to  the  left,  that  the  ground 
appeared  more  open  and  seemed  to  offer  some 
prospect,  if  I  went  carefully,  of  my  finding  a 
spot  from  which  I  could  get  a  real  good  clean 
shot  at  him. 

By  this  time  my  boys  had  come  up,  and  a 
look  at  the  lion  convince  dthem.  as  it  had 
me,  that  I  had  to  deal  with  a  dying  and  dan- 
gerous beast,  and  it  was  decided  that  I  move 
forward  to  the  spot  which  I  had  noticed,  the 
iwo  boys  remaining  where  they  were.  I  told 
them  not  to  move  unless  I  shouted  to  them.

Somewhere  the  sdng  of  a  skylark 

Meltt  into*  air,

tWnot  share. 

For  in  the  shade  of  the  alders, 
ScornlitLolJlies, 


My  position  was  now  desperate.  The  lion 
was  but  a  few  yards  ;.way,  And  there  was  lit- 
-tlc.timefoif  thought.  ;  swung  hurriedly  round

SEvidently  he  had  obeyed  tht  instructions  he 
had  received,  and  s.  od  hi.'?  ground  as  he  Aas 
;told. 

-  T  was  hopeless  and  useless;  the  Hon 

would  iiave  caught  me  in  fifty  yards;  L  had 
no  more  cartridges,  so  there  was  nothing  "for 
it  but  to  face  the  onrushing  beast,  by  this 
time  within  twenty  yards  of  mc,  i^nd  hope  for 
the  best.  I  grasped  my  rifle  tightly  by  the 
stock,  meaning  to  hit  him  as  hard  as  1  could 
when  hf  got  up.  h  v.-is  oi  course  a  flash  of 
time  before  he  reached  me,  though  it  seemed 
longer  waiting  there,  arid  an  extraordinary 
and  overwhelming  sensation  of  physical  fear  " 
gripped  me  as  I  stood.  M^-  arms  seemed  com- 
pletely paralyzed,  and  I  stared,  f-T^cinated.  at 
the  neai-ing  lion,  feeling  quite  helpless  and 
empty  of  fight,  every  scrap  of  courage  having 
run  out  of  me. 

So  I  waited  until  he  was  withiti  two  yards 
of  me.  He  was  mak'V.ij  sttaight  for, my  shoul- 
ders and  neck,  anc  suddenly,  as  I  felt  his  hot 
presence  upon  rno.'  the  lersion  on  my  arms  re- 
laxed, and  my  i  i,i,'th  came  back  to  me  to 
help  me  to  fight  tor  my  life. 

T  hit  him  with  all  my  force  across  the  side 
of  his  head  with  t!io  ^trel  barrels.  My  bbw 
did  not  turn  him  asdc  completely.  Instead  he 
rluckcd  and  caught  bold. of  my  right  leg  in  his 
;nouth.  and  down  v/c  went  together.  My  head

Instinctively  I  reloaded,  and  tried  to  get  up 
that  r  might  finish  him.  _^ 

The  great  beast  was  not  yet  dead,  but  was 
still  watching  me  closely,  and  the  moment  I 
tried  to  raise  myself  to  fire>  he  gPt  up  as  if 
to  come  at  me  again. 

Hurriedly  I  fired  both  barrels— Uke  my 
boy,  not  waiting  to  get  the  rifle  to  my  shoul- 
der. The  first  shot  I  missed,  but  the  second 
put  him  down  finally.  And  then  for  the  mo- 
ment I  completely  lost  my  head.  I  was  in 
such  a  state  that  nothing  on  earth  would 
convince  me  just  then  that  the  beast  was  dead 
so  I  called  to  the  boy  who  was  by  me  and  told 
him,  if  he  had  any  cartridges  left,  to  go  on  fir- 
ing at  the  body.  And  this  feeling  held  mc 
until  I  was  carried  from  the  ground  where  all 
this  i  a ppened.— Victor.

WHERE    TO    GO    FOR   THE    VISITING 
FISHERMAN 


Cowichan  Bay 
~  The  safest  place  for  an  all-prize-and-no- 
black  fishing  resort  within  easy  reach  of  town 
for  any  time  of  the  year  when  either  trout,  or 
.salmon,  or  both,  are  in  season,  is  Cowichan 
B.i  lie  kwo  specialties   of   this  place  are 

lar^c  sea-trout  and  spring  salmon.  From  the 
latter  end  of  May  until  the  run  of  cohoes  in 
the  early  fall  there  are  plenty  of  sea-trout  to 
be  caught  in  the  bay  if  you  go  the  right  way 
about  It.  At  times  fly-fishing  is  good  in  the 
lower  (tidal)  reaches  of  the  river,  which  here 
enters  the  sea,  especially  at  high  tide,  but  it 
is  never  such  a  snrc  thing  as  the  capture  of 
the  troul  ill  the  salt  chuck  with  a  Utile  spuuii. 


Ayoung  Englishman  at  Gibson's  Landing, 
Howe  Sound,  B.  C-.  writing  home  to  his  uncle, 
tells  of  trolling  for  salmon:  **Up  to  now  I 
have  been. catching  salmon  (Cohoes  or  blue- 
backs,  and  a  few  larger  spring  or  Tyee  sal- 
mon) principaly,  but  they  are  getting  scarcer 
no\y,  and  the  cod  are  getting  more  numerous. 
I  iised  to  work  a  rod  out  ol  one  end  of  the 
.stern  of  the  boat  and  a  hand  line  out  of  the 
other,  both  with  a  spoon  bait  on,  and  several 
times  I  have  had  to  tussle  with  two  on  at 
once,  both  perhaps  over  10  pounds.  Two  or 
three  time  si  have  caught  twenty  salmon  in 
a  day,  mostly  on  the  rod.  Now  I  am  catching 
a  very  game  fish  called  a  blue  or  green  cod. 
Its  shape  and  habits  are  more  like  our  pike, 
and.  like  them,  they  are  caught  trolling  a 
spoon  or  live  bait.  They  put  up  almost  as  good 
a  fight  as  salmon,  and  seem  to  run  up  to  16 
pounds  or  so,  though  they  average  about  4 
■pounds.  .Ml  kinds  of  other  fish  take  the  bait 
at  times.  1  have  caught  skate  up  to  bo  pounxis 
dogfish  of  all  sizes  (horrible  nuisances),  red 
cod  up  to  20  pounds — a  fish  called  a  rock-cod

There  he  is  still.

Dave  fell  asleep  with  ilie  sound  of 
his  brother's  steps  still  reaching  liim 
from  btluw.  That  night  he  dreamed  and 
dreamed — always  about  the  feud. 
Strangely  woven  In  his  dreams  was  the 
tradition  and  history  of  the  two  grand 
old  families  whose  splendid  stock  mead- 
ows, hem(>-flelds  and  broad  colonial 
homtstcads  faced  each  other  across  thu 
little  Plxley  river.  Those  wtrc  glorious 
days  before  the  Civil  war — days  of 
friendship  and  chivalry  and  richness.  It 
was  the  war  that  ruined  all. 

The  Uuntons  became  famous  in  the 
SoutlK-rn  cavalry  forces,  while  the  Kl- 
lerys  auve  their  strengtli  and  seal  to 
the  NortJ).  In  a  lull  betweuti  tlit  terrible

News  of  the  raid  was  carried  to  the 
Northern  ir.en.  'Xhty  could  not  leave 
their  regiments  then,  but  were  first  to 
reach  home  after  the  war.  The  Ellerys 
rntaliated  tn  klnd^  desc«indlng  upon  the 
Damon  farm  to  plunder  and  destroy.  So 
tile  war  left  a  blood  feud.  Kalds,  repris- 
als and  killings  followed  and  actual  ex- 
tinction of  the  families  was  threatened. 

At  breakfast,  Dave  noted  that  his 
mother  had  been  crying  the  night,  and 
that  his  brother's  face  wore  a  sleepless 
haggard  look.  The  youngster  wondered 
what  he  should  do,  4f  Allan's  case  were 
his  own.  It  did  not  seem  that  he  would 
be  abl(^  to  hold  out  against  his  mother's 
tears;  and  yet  to  sell  the  old  farn>  was 
to  run  away — to  run  away  from  tlie 
Damons — and  no  Kilery  hud  ever  done 
that.

Phil  Damon  lay  unconMciuus  on  the 
shore.  Duvt  turned  lilni  over  on  his 
stomach,  liead  sloping  down  toward  the 
river,  and  raised  lilm  by  tl>e  belt,  noting 
with  a  thrill  as  he  worked  that  the  boy 
still  clung  to  the  cork-handle  of  hla 
rod.  The  bass  was  lying  attU  and 
whipped  In  the  shallow  water  nu^r  the 
shore.  .  .  .The  Bllery  boy  tolled 
dubiously  now.  All  that  the  act  meant, 
was  crowding  rapidly  upon  him.  FbU 
gasped — 

A  pistol  cracked  acrbae  the  river.  Dave' 
was  sprawled  upon  the  bank,  beside  his 
blood-enemy,  but  only  for  an  instant.  He 
scrambled  up  and  dove  like  a  rabbit  into 
the  bushes,  other  shots  striking  about 
him.  'Hunting  the  thickest  river,  he 
climbed  the  bank  and  reached  the  hol-

.  ,  His  qiptber  'was  away  to  a 
nelgkbof^e  for  tea.  -•  Cava  was  deeply 
thankful  for  this.  Allan  appeared,  in  the 
door-way  and  came  forward  quickly. 

"I  saved  Phil  Damon  from  drowning 
in  the  river,"  the  former  exclaimed 
shakily,  pulling  up  tals  mount,  "and  bis 
brother  shot  at  me  for  my  pains!" 

Allan'^  face  darkened.  He  whistled  for 
^  colored  boy  to  take  the  young  mare, 
led  Dave  into  the  parlor  ,and  carefully 
bandaged  the  wound,  drawing  out  the 
whole  story.  Little  was  said  at  supper. 
Then  Allan  took  down  his  rifle  and 
steppf<d  to  the  door. 

"Oh,  don't  Al!"  the  boy  blurted  out. 
"There's  three  of  them.  They'll  get  you, 
and  think  of  moth — " 

"Dave,  you  stAy  here!"  the  big  brother 
Interrupted  hastily.  "It's  the  only  way 
out  of  it — after  this.  If — if  1 — you  know

then  behind  them  appeared,  faintly  out-

up  their  hands  to  show   thorn  empty. 

"Are  you  coming?"  wan  cnlled. 

Allan  arose  and  w;.  them.

Big  Stanley  Damon  could  say  no  more. 
There  was  a  moment's  silence,  broken 
by   the   voice   of   the   girl. 

"My  mother  is  waiting  in  anguish  un- 
til she  hears.  Mr,  Ellery,"  she  said. 
"And  she  Is  hungry  to  see  that  boy  of

also  been  reported.^  Dr.  Sun  Tat  Sen

The  discovery  of  the  South  Pole  by 
Captain  Raoual  Amunsden,  on  Decem- 
ber 14th,  1911  is  the  great  news  of 
thlc  week.  The  story  was  told  In  last 
Sunday's  Colonist  and  need  not  be  re- 
peated here.  Captain  Amundsen  went 
about  his  work  very  quietly  and  took 
care  that  this  risk  and  suffering  of 
his  party  would  be  as  little  as  possK'le. 
He  tells  his  story  like  a  brave  and 
modest  man.  The  world  will  be  anxious 
to  hear  from  hts  fellow  explorer.  Cap- 
tain .^cott.  ft  was,  however.  Sir  Ernest 
Shackelton  who  proved  that  the  discov- 
ery of  the  South  Pole  wr,s  pos.slble.  Is 
the  world  greatly  the  richer  now  that 
both  tho  North  and  Bouth  Pole  have

(tghtlntt  to  be  done*,  the  discipline  of 
the  «lrlll  will  make  them  strongerln 
body  and  give  them  self-control.  The 
men  who  Join  the  regiment  should  do 
It  with  no  other  motive  than  because 
tliey  love  their  country  and  are  willing 
to  give  their  time  and  their  strength  to 
her  service.  Thoussinds  of  noble  men 
are  to  be  found  In  the  ranks  and  fie 
of  Britain's  soldiers  and  in  the  long 
roll  of  her  ofllcers  there  are  the  names 
of   many  heroes. 

There  is  great  discontent  among 
conductors,  brakemen  and  baggage  men 
on  tbe  Grand  Trunk  Railway  because 
the  company  lias  announced  that  after 
April  1st  their  wages,  which  were  raised 
on  January  1st  will  be  reduced  to  the 
old  scale.  Those  are  men  employed  on 
what  are  known  as  short  runs.  Many  of 
the  roads  in  Ontario  belong  to  the  Grand 
Trunk  and  trains  run  often  bstween 
cities  which  ore  not  far  apart.  Tbe  com- 
pany says  that  tbe  agreement  after  the 
strike  last-  year  provided  that  wages 
could  be  lowered  at  a  montb's  notice, 
and  that  the  rate  now  paid  is  un^Iif 
to  men  On  the  long  runs.  Most  pec^le

A  story  of  a  Kentucky  Feud 

A  change  came  over  young  Dave  El- 
lery's  world  on  the  night  he  overheard 
his  mother  weeping  bitterly  about  the 
feud.  It  was  really  the  first  time  he 
ever  thought  seriously  concerning  her 
side  of  the  question.  Hatred  for  tiie 
remnant  of  the  great  family  across  the

on  a  brllllsnt  summer  aftei-noon,  young 
Dave  rode  <lown  thi<  river-putli  to  bring 
up  some  colts  for  a  government  buyer 
who  had  promised  to  call  the  following 
day.  The  heat  was  Intense,  but  there 
was  a  little  breeze  in  the  shelter  of  the 
walnut  trees,  and  a  faint  breath,  cool 
hut  sweet  came  up  from  tht^rlver.  As 
Dave  approached  the  end  of  the  Bllery 
taiid,  a  voice  reached  him  from  thh 
river  ahead.  He  tied,  bis  pet  filly  in 
a  shady  hollow  and  crept  forward  cau-

Hunger  is  a  word  of  which  very  few

who  had  perished  in  the  name  of  the 
feud. 

To  Dave  there  was  a  thrill  even  lu 
the  word,  l-'ear  of  a ,  sHot  from  the 
Damons,  as  he  stepped  upon  the  river- 
bank  or  rode  into  town,  was  the  spice 
of  living.  It  was  true  that  neither  party 
had  fired  at  tho  other  across  the  river 
for  a  long  time,  and  that  each,  by  some 
tacit  agreement,  ^ad  come  to  have  Its 
own  days  for  going  to  town,  these  being 
respected  by  the  of  the  otiu  i . 

yet  tho  boy  knew  v,jii  Luat  his  mother 
was  right  when  she  exclaimed  that  tho 
feud  was  not  dead  but  slcer)inp. 

Dave  had  come  in  quietly  from  the 
stables  this  night.  The  sitting-room  door 
was  shut,  but  the  voices  of  the  mother 
and  elder  brother,  Allan,  Just  turned 
ewenty-one,  reached  him  plainly.  She  was 
imploring  him  to  arrange  for  the  sale  df 
the  farm  at  any  cost,  to  leave  the 
county — even  to  leave  Kentucky. 

"I  cannot  live  In  this  dreaTl  much 
longer,  Allan,"  she  said  brokenly.  "Ev- 
ery time  you  or  David  are  out  of  my 
sight,*  it  means  haunting  agony  to  me. 
And  you  are  all  I  have  left  I  Think  of 
your  father  being  brought  In  deij,d  to 
me!  Think  of  all  the  tragedies  I  have 
borne—think  of  yuorsclf  and  David — of 
me,  If  either  of  you  were  lo  be  taken!" 

Allan  calmed  and  cheered  her  as  best 
he  could.  Dave  heard  him  pacing  the 
brick  walk  by  tho  '.summBr-kltc.hen  for 
hours  afterwards.  :ind  undnintood  clearly 
Ihp  struKgle  In  his  big  brother's  brain. 
Allan  V'.llery'B  valor  and  heart  were  ac- 
knowledged by  nil  who  knew  hlrn,  but 
his  mother  could  have  sskeil  no  hnrder 
thing  than  for  hlrn  to  end  th«>  feurt  by 
going  away.  Kentucktann  wovld  never

and  the  youngest  of  three  Damon  boys, 
was  struggling  In  a  deep  hole  of  tho 
rlvier;  His  boat  had' capslKed  and  was 
floating  water  In  the  current.  I'liU  was 
treading  water  frantlcaUy,  but  holding 
fast  to  Mb  cesting  rod,  having  hooked 
a  good-sized  bass.  Dave  saw  the  fish 
when  It  leaped;  saw,  too,  that  the  other 
had  evidently  made  the  cast  on  the  El- 
lery si'le  of  the  stream.  Moreover,  David 
realized  perfectly  that  Phil  Damon  was 
In  danger  of  his  life,  being  lame  and  a 
weak  swimmer.  Strangely  enough,  at  the 
Instant,  the  thing  that  Impresstd  him 
moro  than  anything  was  that  the  boy 
would  not  let  go  of  his  rod. 

"Damon  grit,"  he  muttered,  It  was  a 
saying  in  the  Ellery  household,  just  as 
"fJllery  pluck"  was  a  current  phrase 
across  the  river. 

The  wittoher  gave  a  sudden  Jump.  Pitil 
had  gone  under  with  a  gurgling  cry.  The 
rod  wobbled  above  the  stream  but  was 
not  released.  Dave  forgot  remotely.  a.k 
he  .scrambled  down  the  bank,  that  It  was 
a  grave  offense  for  a  Damon  to  flght  a 
fish  In  Ellery  waters.  The  lame  boy's 
hand,  clenched  to  tlie  rod  appeared  an 
Instant — then  the  face,  ghastly  white, 
eyes  distended,  but  staring  into  his  own! 
A  horrid  sound,  hoarse,  choking — tlun 
the  face  vanished. 

That  strangled  cry  whipped  everything 
.else  from  Dave  Klleiy's  brain.  Years 
afterwards  It  startled  his  sleep  and  the 
awful  face  of  the  drowning  hoy  was 
seen  in  the  palo  light  of  dreams.  He 
was  not  conscious  of  a  decision — ()nly 
knew  what  he  wasdnlnji  when  tho  cool

He  took  the  boy's  hand  and  presently 
disappeared  in  the  darkness  down  the 
river-path. 

Dave  was  in  agony,  but  not  from  his 
wound.  The  hurt  pained  a  little,  but 
it  was  nothing.'He  couldn't  rest  indoors. 
The  night  was  still,  save  for  the  hum- 
ming and  low  laughter  from  the  darkey 
cabins.    Tbe  big  colonial  house  was  dark 

and  desolate His   brothers     words 

repeated    themselves    again    and    again 

In  his  brain Allan  had  gone  down 

the  river  to  wait  a  chance  to  pay  shot 
for  shot.  The  Damons  would  look  for 

his  coming. .....They  were  three 

And,  then-->when  his  mother  came-  back

He  was  not  even  armed,  but  his  hope 
was  no  less  than  a  passion — to  bring 
hip  b.rother  back  alive.  .  .  He  stopped 
rkgiMfit!  suddenly.  Out  of  the  «tlU  dark 
nllMt  cam»   the   low    voice   of  a  irirl. 

aUnmine. 

lMv«  knew  the  voice.  Often  from 
aeross  the  river  on  quiet  mornings  he 
had  hekrd  her  alncin^  or  calling  for 
her  brotfaers.'^  it  was  the  only  daughter

It  reached  him  from  directly  ahead — 
Jessie  Damon  singing  on  tiie  ISltery 
land!  Dave  dropped  to  the  ground  under 
the  walnut  trees  and  listened.  The  voice 
nMKjMid  i^enrer'and  nearer,  until  at  last 
M^oird  her  step  upon  the  soft  turf  and 
diatltmMied  her  form,  a  wlap  of  white

was  all  he  sensed  clearly.  His  oWn  Itfe^

these  were  secondary  to  the  one  main 
idea,  all  in  the  baekgrotUMd  ot  IjtUt'  ftttakd

He  pas'Jted'l&e'bena  in  the  river  which 
marked  the  place  of  Dave's  adventure, 
passed  the  border  of  the  BUery  land. 
The  path  sloped  now  into  a  level  stretch 
of  meadow  for  a  few,  hundred  yards  to 
the  main  pike  and  the  Plxley  bridge. 
On  the  far  side  of  the  bridge  was  a 
thick  clump  of  aiders.  One  of  the  Da- 
mon boys  might  be  riding  tO  town.  . 
.  Allan  determined  to  reach  the  thicket 
and  wait.  The  night  was  now  shadowy- 
dark  hut  not  opaque.  Approaching  tho 
bridge,  he  dropped  to  the  ground  and 
crawled  forward.  The  covert  of  alders 
might  already  be  tenanted.  There  was 
a.  sure  way  of  finding  out.  Innumerable 
sparrows  and  other  small  birds  were  ac- 
customt-d  to  roost  In  the  thicket  at  this 
time  of  year.  Allen  meant  to  toss  a 
pebble  across  the  river  and  Into  the 
hushes.  If  tho  birds  were,  there — the 
Damons  were  not.  .  .  With  utmost 
care  ho  crawled  along  close  to  tho  tirldge 
found  a.  stone  and  raised  himscir  tn  his 
knees  to  cast  It — 

"Drop  your  gun,  Al  Kii-iy — >.,irrc  mv- 
ered!"  came  In  a  -quick  voice  from  the 
thicket  across  the  stream. 

Allan  dropped  as  If  by  a  bullet.  Then 
as  he  lav  close  to  the  wet  turf  his 
whole  intelllgencb  was  startled  bv  the 
fact  that  he  had  been  warned,  not  shot. 

:"Ho,  Kilery,"  the  voice  resumed  pre- 
sently. "We  want  a  truce — .ire  you  wil- 
ling?" 

Allan  Wan  loo  smazed  to  answer.  The 
Other  continued; 

"We  want  a  tnicc  oiir  Bi.stor  Is  here 
for  good  faith.  We'll  walk  to  the  center 
of  the  bridge  unarmed — If  you  say  the 
word.  We  know  you're  not  a  liar,  and 
we're  not.  If  we  wanted  to  kill  you,  we 
could  have  done  it — a  minute  ago.  Is  it 
a   truce'.'" 

"Yes,  I'm  here,  Mr.  Ellery,"  a  girl's 
low  voice  confirmed. 

Allan    cleared    his    thront.    "Tex.    It>    a 
truce,"  he  said  with  dlflflcuUy. 
'  Two  mole  figures  emerged  from     the 


"But  you  had  started  for  our  house — 
all  of  you,"  Allan  Interrupted.  "1  forget, 
though,  mother  Is  out  for  tea,  and  won't 
be  home  for  a  little  while  yet.  likely." 

"Let  me  manatee  it."  she  satd  ^utokly. 
"Tou  walk  up  with  the'  boys  to  our 
bouse,  and  ril  go  and  bring  your  broth- 
er. He  can  walk,  can't  beT" 

''Oh,  yes.  It  was  Just  a  graze.  I  made 
bim  Btay  back." 

"Good!  Ill  bring  him.  Th«n  from  our 
house— we  can  all  cross  over  to  yours, 
by  tbe  time  your  mother  retume.  .  , 
Oh,  I  shall  be  perfectly  safe,  ril  walk 
along  humming,  \7here  a  woman  Is,  you 
know,  there  Is  always  truoe.  ^at'a 
an  unwritten  law  of  the  feud— that  ^ 
broken." 

And  so  It  came  about,  a  few  minutes 
afterward,  that  when  young  Dave  tmwg* 
ed  from  tbe  black  shadow  of  the  walntit 
trees  to  hall  tbe  singing  girl  of  Vtxtt  Xf»f 
mons,  he  encountered  not  an  eneiny  |a 
be  spared  op  account  of  her  sex,  but  a 
new  and  enduring  friend  who  could  not 
forbear  kissinsr  his  cheek,  so  deep  was 
her  gratefulness: .  and.  ,  bewtldeMid  bot . 
Joyous,  tbe  boy  woe  led  bjr  her  bask  to 
the  bridge,  and  up  through  tbe  Damon 
meadows,  to  the  house'  lie  bad  «apoetea

And  so  It  came,  about,  too,  thit  Xim

festival  before  tlu,'  war.  l^^esentljr  a 
most  peculiar  thing  happened.  Nothing 
like  it  had  occurred  for  forty  yeass.  A

THE  BATTLE  OF  LIPB 


It  sotnctimes  seems  as  if — ^in  these  days  of 
liigher  education  and  advanced  cultur^ — we 
are  taught  everything  with  the  exception  of 
Jiow  to  live  so  as  to  be  a  joy  to  ourselves  and 
those  around  us.  . 

Now,  the  lessons  of  life,  if  they  have  to  lie  j 
learned  painfully  and  alone,  instead  of  being 
jKfA|i?uaUy  instilled  into  us  in  chUdhoocl.  can 
"^Pl'liLe  learned  with  exceedingjy  bitter  pangs.

lliey  liave  not  only  never  been  taught  that 
splendid  lesision.  but  have  not  had  the  strength 
of  mind  to  teach  It  to  themselves. 

UofeHishness,  tact,  moral  courage,  and 
many  other  virtues  which  will  smooth  the  path 
pi  life,  could,  and  should,  be  taught  a  child  be- 
fore it  begins  what  is  called  "real  lessons." 

Happy  are  the  children  who  are  in  such 
case. 

BtJt  one  fears  the  more  usual  view  now- 
adays is  to  "let  them  enjoy  themselves  while 
they  can." 

A   spoiled   child   is   never   a    really   happy 
child;  and  every'year  of  slack  traininjj  is  but

live  upon  the  frontier,  for  instance,  or  to  feel 
that  one's  husband  is  in  jeopardy  from  moment

Crustiness,  as  we  are  all  aware,  is  as  often  as 
not  merely  a  coat  of  mail  put  on  to  hide  shy-

it  would  amuse  me  to  meet  a  very  cultivated

There  is  balm  in  Gilead! 

The  miserable  case  of  the  bachelor  is  about 
to  b«*  ameliorated.  . 

Perhaps,  reader  mine,  you  suspect  satire. 
But  no. 

This  is  not  a  reference  to  the  new  legisla- 
tion in  some  of  the  smaller  German  states, 
which  makes  masculine  celibacy  an  offence  re- 
quiring a  financial  penalty. 

Not  punishment,  but  benevolence  is  its  cs- 
gence.  It  regards  the  bachelor  not  as  a  sinner, 
deceitful  and  desperately  wicked,  but  as  a 
wretched  creature  in  dire  need  of  education!

keep  himself  as  remote  as  possible  from  aU  the

Even  if  he  knew  how  to  do  it  all,  he  would

As  well  expect  him  to  make  his  own  boots. 

We  are  not  ignorant,  of  cour^,  of  men  who 
take  a  bewildering  pleasure  in  dabbling  in  fem-

They  think  themselves  as  competent  as  any

lesson  of  life  the  harder  to  learn. 

It  is  never  too  soon  for  a  child  to  learn  that 
it  is  not  "the  only  pebble  on  the  beach,'  and 
that  to  cry  for  a  thtna:  is  by  no  means  tlve  way 
to  get  it ! 

As  years  pass  more  and  more  can  one  testi- 
fy to  ^e  lifelong  joy  and  even  solace  of  the 
If^sons.learned  in  one*s  childhood  in  the  school 
of  dear  oI<t  Dame  Nature.  The  love  of  all  that  • 
ig-;  beautiful  and  interesting  in  Nature  should 
be  iearly  imptanted  in  children.  This  gift, 
of;  CQttl^s<b,  Embraces  the  garden-love  that  adds 
ip^llta  joy  to  existence.  And  one  cannot  help 
tMlxiiig  astonished,  and  really  hurt,  when  a  pro- 
siie  being  in  answer  to  "Wasn't  it  a  glorious., 
fllfi»et  today?"  says  "Oh,  was  it?"  I  never 
ifvsiice  Sttch  .things  som#how,  and  a  feeling  Of  - 
li^  fijNnpathy  arises  almost  as  if  he.  or  she, 
ha^tsatd,  "f'ftsar  I  am  losing  my  sight."  or  "I 
rfcjaiHy^;^P  not  hear  as  well  as  I  used  to."  Sym- 
i>athy  which*  to  one  blind  to  the  joys  Nature 
daily  offers  her  votaries,  would  seem  not  oiily 
uncatted  for,  but  affected.  But  these  pleasure*,, 
^he^4  bHef  \iplif tings  from  the  commonplace  of 
lile,  aresoivrces  of  endless  joy  for  all  that.  ^ 

Another  great  help  in  the  battle  of  life. is 

the  abilitpr  to ''play  up" !      ' 
'"'Now  it  is  easy  to  do  this  when  all  is  Well 
j|:lth*,us,  thotigh  folks  there  be  who  cultivate 
Ibatjdeadly  weed.'  self-pity,  even  then ;  folks 
who,  in  short,  like  naughty  children,  "want 
something  to  cry"  for. 
;     Ei^  passant  be  it  said  that  in  some  cases 
^e  malcontent,  curiously  enough,  begins  from 
that  first  real  adversary  to  meet  life  and  its 
trials "faifly  and  squarely — in  short,  to  play  up 
to.  t^ngs-— and  is  therefore  a  far  happier  and 
arore  useful  man,  or  woman, 
^^  '  A^  to  the  brave  souls,  we  aril  come 

a^oss  now  and  then,  who  cheerily  play  up  to 
a  Jifc ,  of  ill-health  and  invalidism,  who  .never 
compain  of  the  loss  of  activity  once  so  dearly. 
prijsflid;  to  be  with  such  is  indeed  a  valuable 
lesson  on  the  value  of  self-control,  the  beauty 
ot  Tcsighation. 

Yes,  invalidism  of  any  kind,  to  one  who  has 
been  strongs  In  days  gone  by,  is  perhaps«-save 
loss  of  sights— the  heaviest  cross  to  hear: which' 
can  be  laid  on  suiyone.  For  withioss  'of  mphjey .' 
one  can,  at  worst,  take  to J^  Ftss  ambitious  way 
of  Kviiig,  and  for  the  loss  of  friends  and  rela* 
tives  "Time,  the  ^eat  realer,"  is  ever  at  hand, 
ever  -working  silently  for  us ;  but  for  loss  of 
health  we  can.btit  implore  cotirage  to  be  able 
to  go  on  at  all.

The  sudden  discovery  that  there  can  V<? 
servants  whom  no  diplomacy  of  hers  can  induce 
to  do  satisfactory  work  has  been  known  to  dis- 
solve the  proudest  of  housewives  in  the  tears 
of  impotence.  i 

How  then  could  a  mere  bachelor  survive 
such  ^  shoiek? 

But  the  new  way  with  bachelors  is  none 
of  these. 

The  creature  is  to  be  introduced  to  a 
"Bachelors  Paradise,"  ;ind  the  place  where 
this  is  to  i)e  found,  we  have  been 'told,  is  at  a 
coming  "Simple  Life  Conference  and' Exhibi- 
tion," which  is  to  be  held  in  London. 

May  we  be  excused  if  with  all  apologies 
and  respect  we  express  incredulity? 

Some  considerable  acquaintance  with  biach- 
elors  convinces'us  that  wherever  they  find 
their  private  paradise  it  will  not  be  in  the 
"Simple  Life."  or  in  anything  remotely  resefti- 
bling  that ! 

Moreover,  incredulity  changes  to  sheer 
amazement  when  we  read  further  that  it  is  the 
business\)f  this  "Bachelor's  Paradise"  to  teach 
young  men  "all  the  domestic  arts." 

As  if  the  true  bachelor  wanted  to  be  both- 
ered with  any  such  thing;  why  should  he  be  a 
bachelor  if  he  did? 

The  scheme  is.  however,  am.        .^    (Miouirh 
'  be  interesting 

"Young  men  will  be  insinictpd  in  all  ilic 
domestic  arts,  their  helplessness  will  be  ruth- 
lessly tnrn  fnmi  them,  demonstrators  will  show 
them  !ok  .v.-ash  up,  dam  SDcks.  wash 

clothe-,  ji.ii  Mil  buttons,  dust,  tidy-up — to  do 
cverythinir.  in  short,  that  has  been  so  charm- 
,w^]\   J.iiic  f  M   iheni  in  the  pa.st." 

And    vvhr,   IS   to  be   the  better    l..r   llwu'    you 


very  complicated  life  for  her,  and  for  other  peo- 
ple. 

Tt  is  .quite  an  error  to  suflpose  that  life 
would  be  simplified  by  returning  to  the  prim- 
itive state  in  which  every  man  was  his  own 
Imtuhci    uwliiliflter  and  c.llulle■^tick-maker._ 

The  way'lo^impliuc.uion  is  by  use  of  the 
expcvl. 

The  fundamental  idea  of  this  Bachelor's 
Paradise  is  not.  we  are  told,  to  multiply  bache- 
lors^ Init  to  increase  happy  marriages. 

The  organiiierfi  want  to  make  maVi  inde- 
])cndent  of  tlie" wife-housekeeper,"  so  that  he 
may  be  more  likely  to  marry  someone  who  will 
be  a  wife  indeed! 

This  will  surely  appeal  to  the  suffragettes, 
who  will  be  able  to  marry  men  who  will  wash 
the  baby,  and  mind  the  house  while  they  are 
nut  on  their"political  business"! 

These  promoters  of  this  scheme  protest 
that  many  men  marry  merely  to  be  more  com- 
fortable, and  they  Van t  to  ensure  that  for  the 
future  the  CI ea'ture  shall  marry  for  more 
worthy  reasons. 

The  educiUion  is  to  be  elaborate,  but  wc 
cannot  think  complete. 

We  read  with  alarm  that  "A  baby  will  be 
in  attendance  between  three  and  five  in  the 
afternoon." 

But  this  surely  is  not  sufficient;  it  i-  !"■ 
tween  three  and  five  in  the  morning  th;; 
bachelor  should  be  introduced  to  the  bab)  ! 

"Men  will  be  shown  what  a  charming  and 
harmless  thing  it  Is."  (This  is  all  very  well — 
in  the  afternoon!)  "They  will  be  instructed 
in  the  art  of  taking  care  of  it,  mixing  its  food. 
iif  rnlcrtaining  it,  firnin!?  its  tear.s  to  smiles, 
;iir  '\.

|,;c-<Cfl   b\    the   remark,   "Poor  1>ahy  I" 

\,.\\  -y.]  \\\\-.  i>  very  subtle. 

U  may  be  that  the  bachelor  who  is  a  skilled 
couk,  housemaid,  nurserymaid,  laundrymaid 
and  kitohenniaid  may  look  upon  the  woman  of 
his   choice  "not   as  a  housekeeper  but  as  a 


changes  of  modern  times,  there  «r^i    . 
goodly  number  of  people  left  whose^<»M^:^tpl|il 
seems  to  be  to  eradicate  every  sparip  of  pleas- 
ure from  human  existence,  and  to  t|iri|;0ur 
sojourn  here  into  a  thing  of  aa^nest  »ll4*^r- 
petual  gloom  I  -    ; .  — 

Surely  the  higherft  ,*rtd  ttuWest  form  of 
Pleasure  is  that  oif  giv«Jijr>l«aaMre  to  others. 
and  how  can  we  do  thfa  if  we  have  not  any 
capacity  for  cnj^oymcnt  oilraeWea.?  '  >     /x 

That  Pleasure,  pttre  and  #ri«pl*r««*J8rne- 
nessariiy  be-  sinful,  that  giiftty  and  natulil-^^ 
Hght-heartedness  should  aTvrtjrft-^  stemmed 
at  the  fountatn-head,  is  sitrely  a  ttiiet  oi  the 
past,  that  ^ttl!  Pttrltanical  past,  ii^y(ji'%  'f 
lis  wiab  to  resurrect! 

When  we  are  dull  and  when  life  goes  on  in 
One  «Ortttnual  round  of  mo^^^ny.  we  are  apt 
to  bf.  very  uninteresting  'jp^ira^on'-.  and  it

great  amoutit.  of  fiunihine  iiito  otilfer  people's 
liVis.  -^  *' ' 

How  often  a^ug,h  of  genuifievfiitty  will 
cheer  us  up  when  we  are  feeling  depressed 
and  moody,  how  infjKrliptts  i*  a  happy-go-lucky 
spirit,  after  we  hai-e  had  intercourse  with  it 
for.  a  Jittle  wUiiei; "  ^  ,    *  - 

Let  us  not  deny  owrselves  altogether  some 
real  pUasure.  butl^^  n«  t«ke  what  comes  our 
way.  and  endeavor  not  to  WS^At  entirely  to 
ourselves,  but  to  diffuse  it  amUttifr.  those  who 
are  less  fortunate  than! we. 

That  is  where  we  ejW%Jrf%m  ^vhcn  wq,, 
grab  after,  pleasure<«  'twiRMif  bsfy  of  our- 
selves, and  oxtr  own  ends. 

•But  to  enjoy  Ufe  ts  surely "^the  highest  nay 
in  which  we  can  show  our  appreciation  of  the 
,bertelit«  of  living,  and  by  enjoying  life.  ^-Jf' 
we  can  give  a  great  deal  of  |Wttfiit:e  to  other 

people*     ,"  '^^<. 

The  sppntaneously  happy  pmro  is  he  who 
is  most  .sought  after,  he  who  has  the  saving 
grace  of  humor,  a  ready  wit,  and  a  keen  sense 
of  enjoyment. 

One  often  feels  Sincere  pity  for  those  poor 
unfortunate  beings  who  have  never  lived  ai  all, 
but  who  have  been  content  to  merely  exist, 
and  it  is  they  who,  as  a  rule,  arc  the  most 
severe  critics;  they  speak,  and  feelingly,  of 
things  which  they  have  never  felt, 

One'  cannot  help  feeling,  too,  that  they  are 
h'  1  rule,  the  most  charitable  of  mortals, 

and  that  because  they  arc  incapable  of  pleas- 
ure themselves,'  they  look  upon  all  gaiety  with 
a  jaundiced  eye.  and  imagine  untold  horrors, 
which  in  reality  «lo  not  exist  at  all. 

Surely  mirth  comes  from  Cod,  sadness,  as 
such,  from  the  Devil  1 

T.*et  us  then  try  to  cultivate  the  spirit  of 
cheerfulness,  and  a  bright  outlook  on  thing^s  in 
general/and  let  us  not  "take  our  pleasures  sad- 
ly," but  occasionally  abandon  ourselves  light- 
heartedly  to  the  enjoyment  of  the  good  thinj^j^ 
of  this  life,  that  wc  may  help  to  enliven  thnse 
aroimd  us,  and  that  we  may  be  more  sympa- 
thetic and  charitable  in  our  dealings  with  our 
fellow  men.

In  studying  the  role,  Mr.  Fa- 
versham  had  no  "conventional 
business"  to  follow ;  there  were  no 
"stage  traditions"  to  guide  him. 
He  was  compelled  to  "create" —

data  at  hand  a^  to  how  a  faun 
would  comport  himself. in  modern 
society.  Mr.  Faversham  had  to 
imagine  all  this,  .with  tlie  result 
that  he  has  evolved  the  finest 
achievement  of  his  stage  career. 

The  play  is  constantly  amusing,

Bromley  is  an  eteViate^  township 
some  three  or  four  miles  from  the

Leonard  Buckle,  whoJs  yet  in  his 
teens— he  is  only  fourteen  years 
of  age—played  before  the  Coun- 
tess of  Warwick,  who  discovered 
his  talent,  as  his  own  school- 
mistress, before  her  ladyship,  had 
done

tened to  the  manipulation,  by  the 
^Ottt^ful  ^tid%,of  Raff's  "Cav- 
alihift,**  mm  ^WW^"  mtermezzo  from 
"Cavalleria  Rusticana.''  It  was  as 
a  child  that  the  style  of  perform- 
ance of  the,  great  Paganini  at- 
tracted attention,  and  though 
Leonard  Buckle  may  never  attain 
the  distinction  of  the  Italian  vio- 
linist, recognition  by  a  Countess 
of  his  skill  and  genius  is  both 
promising  and  encouraging. 

The  Countess  was  so  convinced 
of  the  great  natural  gifts  of  the 
young  artist  that  she  expressed 
her  intention  to  arrange  for  his 
future  training  in  music. 

Young  Buckle  is  in  need  of  ed- 
ucation of  the  kind  for  he  is  in 
poor  circumstances.  He,  as  a 
matter  of  fact,  works  in  a  mill, 
and  it  is  in  his  leisure  time,  when 
he  has  ceased  work  as  a  mil!  boy, 
that  he  runs  over  the  familiar 
tunes  on  his  violin  and  studies  the 
development  of  his  art.  He  owes 
much,  no  doubt,  to  the  hints 
which  he  received  ai  the  Bram- 
ber  Council  School  long  before  he 
reached  his  teens,  for  Mr.  Isaac 
Brown,  his  master,  knew  how  to 
instruct  him,  and  tr.ok  care  to  do 
so,  with  infinite  pains  and  trouble. 
Such  was  the  proficiency  he  at- 
tained when  only  a  dozen  years 
of  age  that  at  the  Bramley  Salim 
Competitions  the  city  organist  of 
IvCeds.  Ml-  II.  .\.  i'Vickcr.  who 
officiated  as  judge,  unhesitating- 
ly awarded  him  the  gold  medal 
which  was  competed  for  on  that 
occasion,  and  Mr.  Pricker  ex- 
pres.sed  his  appreciation  of  the 
masterly  manipulation  of  the  bny 
player. 

Now  that  the  Cuuute.ss  of  War- 
wick has  taken  him  under -her 
wing  there  is  no  knowing'  what 
bis  future  may  be  and  whatKOOd

stomach  of  its  army,  and  a  fortnight's

the  men,  their  wives  and  families,  in

putting  up  a  well-organzled  effort  to

The  French  miners,  began  a  24-hotir 
stride  last  week.  It  was  intended  merely 
as  a  demonstration  and  the  men  wUl 
returned  to  work.  They  want 
an  eight-hour  day,  a  minimum  wage 
and  a  definite  guarantee  of  a  daily  peti- 
sion  when  they  cease  work  at  the  age 
of  40.  The  grater  number  of  the  men 
remained  away  from  work.  Regiments

WHY   DOES    THE    GRA5S    IN    THE     FAR    OFF   PASTURE    ALWAY5    LOOK    GREENER? 


DID  THE  SIGNIFICANCE 

EVER  OCCUR  TO  YOU? 

Right  here  in  Victoria  and  the  adjacent  districts— opportunities  that  are  absolutely  '"giltedged"  are  scattered  in  everu  direction,  and  get  to 

some  people  any  other  place  on  the  map  of  North  America  looks  more  attractive. 

Property  in  and  around  this  city  is  in  the  early  stages  of  develop- 
ment. You  are  on  the  spot  and  can  see  for  yourself.  Many  miles  of 
street  work  are  on  the  slate  for  attention  this  year.  Extended  sewer 
and  water  mains  must  come,  and  a  ready  sale  of  real  estate  at  in- 
creased prices  will  result. 

There  is  no  need  to  go  away  from  home  for  profitable  investment. 
You  cannot  find  ainy  thing  better.  You  can  see  what  you  are  buying 
here,  and  can  watch  the  development  that  will  bring  you  profits. 

We  ar(^  selling  lots  in  two  very  •ine  subdivisions — ^^both  of  these 
properties  offer  unusual  opportunities  to  the  man  of  limited  means- 
it  doesn't  require  much  money  to  get  started.  A  small  cash  payment, 
the  balance  spread  over  four  years.

They  will  drop  their  rnoney  into  any  proposition  that  offers,  no 
matter  now  far  off  it  is — but  they  will  not  get  down  to  earth  in  their 
own  city. 

There  isn't  and  never  will  be  a  better  investment  than  that  offered 
by  real  property  in  an -established  and  growing  community.  It  is 
safe  and  sure. 

Buy  in  the  line  of  development  as  close  to  the  centre  as  your 
purse  will  allow,  and  you  cannot  help  making  money.  It  isn't  genius, 
it  is  just  plain  common  sense. 

F^or  example — if  you  buy  a  [)iece  of  vacant  property  in  a  locality 
before  the  streets  are  opened  up,  it  stands  to  reason  that  as  soon  as 
the  improvements  are  undertaken  the  value  of  your  holding  must  in- 
crease considerably.    Improvements  always  make  values.

Ij  the  system,  and   the   liquor   habit   is  conquered.     This   is  what   the   Neal

of  at  least  two  railway  lines  and  the  connecting 
point  with  fast  steamers  to  the  terminus  of  the 
..GtJlita  Trunk  Pacific  at  Prince  Rupert. 

P^asengers  from  Quatsino  Soun<J  and  oth^r 
Portp,  on  the  northwest  coast  of  Vancouver 
Island,  will  take  steamer  passage  for  Alaska, 
Seattle  and  other  ports  from  PORT  HARDY, 
as  the  existing  trade  route  is  on  the  inland 
waters  and  not  on  the  exposed  PaciHc  Ocean. 


Timber  in  the  northern  part  of  Vancouver  Island 
and  adjacent  mainland  by  being  manufactured  at 
PORT  HARDY,  will  save  a  towage  charge  of  two 
dollars  per  thousand  feet  to  Vancouver. 

Without  doubt  thousands  of  acres  lyin^  to  the 
west  of  PORT  HARDY  will  become  one  of,  if  not 
the  finest  area  of  farming  land  on  Vancouver  Island,

ICBJW.  YORK.  M«r<!hj;«.^**A  alftriBlnjft 
note  from  IiQndon,  hinting  at  an  Inter- 
national erlsts  probably  wan  responalblc 
for  the  iure^t  In  the  upward  movement 
of  the  Block  market  today..  Tbls  note 
Indicated  some  danger  to  the  peace  of 
Europe,  and  was  euppoaed  to  deal  with 
relatlona  between  Rveeta  and  Austria. 

American  aecurltiea  were  weak  In 
London,  where  a  further  slump  In  vari- 
ous InduBtriea  were  witnessed.  The 
specjilatlve  account  In  that  market,  es- 
peclail^  in  mining  securities,  already  la 
much  over-sxtended.  and  today'H  heavi- 
ness reached  the  gilt  edged  security 
iMxies. 

There  was  Immediate  recovery  from 
the  decline,  but  this  was  followed  by 
another  selling  movement  of  increased 
activity.  Today's  low  level  obliterated 
a  large  part  of  the  week's  gains,  and  in 
some  cases  all  advantage  was  lost:  l^ow

the  flrat  'Increase  in  about  two  months,

mark,  St,  Thomas  possesses  one  of  the

a  safe  and  direct  ro\iriit',.  ttotfk  Surope  to' 
the  head  of. the  Patuima  Canal.  It  is  a9 
ideal  poMtion.!f«r-«  iWval  Daae  or.pert^ 
of  ealL     .-'  ,11;  ,''1^;^^  ;.' 

"The  Daiiii»h  MlOiglwr  of  Finance  has 
lnUoduc<>d  m  parlUflftcnt  a  bill  to  plae* 
the  harbor  In  tht  KftttdB.  of  a  private 
syndicate  of  five  men.  The  bill  has  al« 
ready  been  rea4  aud  debated,  and  is'tioi^ 
la  the  committeie.  stage.  It  enables  the 
syndicate  to  take  over  and  ixatftoratM 
harbor  without  lncurrtn|r  uny 
obiigntions  toward  t1ie,iiW^?il$l 
ingly  With  full  power  W^a^tP^Mkiii 
the  unlimited  rl|(btB  acnulreil.  The  O's- 
'  tenslble  obJ«ct  of  the  bill  Is.  to  effect 
.  an  expansion  of  the  trade  iot  £i4^mark, 
develpplng  its  colonies  and  it*  seaborne 
commerce  until  Dbnniark  taktka  its  place 
as  a  sea-powtr. 

"The  proposal  has  fired  the  imagina- 
tion of  the  Danes,  whose  patriotism 
responded  to  tlie  appeal  enthusiastically. 
The  syndicate  consists  of  H,  N.  Ander- 
son, C.  M.  T.  Cold,  Hoi  get  Peterssen, 
Admlnil  Le  Richelieu,  of  Slam  fame,  and 
R.  K.  GluckRtadt,  direolor  of  the  Landa- 
mnnbanken — all  Danes.  The  terms  of 
thl.-*  momentous  concession  seem  to 
show  that  the  Danish  government  prat;- 
tically  surrenders  all  state  rights  over 
the  harbor  Of  St.  Thomas  and  of  San 
Juan  also,  for  hlntty-nlne  years,  for 
the  trifling  consideration  of  18  per  cent, 
of  the  harbor  dues  collected  for  ten 
years  only,  as  noon  nw  the  law  repenl- 
ing  the  present  enactment  concerning 
ou»toms  clues  or  duties  shall  hnv<>  h«>pn 
paBsed. 

"The  harbor  Is  to  be  al  Icnsi  of  .suf- 
ftclent  depth  and  width  to.  admit  shlixi 
of  16.000  tons  displacement.  Obstrve 
UiRf  this  ntlpulntton  empowere  or  sug- 
gests a  far  larger  eapacity. 

"The  syndicate  has  the  rigl  ;..l 


man  a!ettpn  which  is  regarded  as  Inimical 
to  peacA,  And,  of  course,  the  harbor 
would  offer  a  dangerous  temptation,  not 
only  to  Germany,  littt  to  any 'other"  pow-" 
erful  rival  that  might  wish  to  try  con- 
clusions With  America  on  the  question 
Ot  tb*  Monroe  doctrine."

The  interpretation  of  Spring  Styles  shown 
in  our  Millinery  Parlors  are  of  especial  inter- 


est.  They  are  designed  to  meet  the  require- 
ments of  a  discriminating  people  who  de- 
mand as  their  right  the  best  that  creative 
genius  can  produce. 

Finch  Models  comprise  styles  suitable  for 

.     all   occasions.    This  fact  appeals  strongly   to 

the  ladies  of  this  community,  who  possess  a 

sense  of  fitness  of  things,  good  taste  and  good 

quality. 

The  Finch  Crown  Tip  stands  for  style, 
workmanship  and  finish.  Our  designers  of 
Millinery  are  the  best  that  New  York  has  been 
able  to  produce. 

We  think,  as  studeirts  of  Fashion,  that  we

Dress,  because  we  specialize.  We  invite  your 
critical  inspection.  Every  possible  comparison 
to  Which  you  can  subject  our  creations  to  we 
believe  will  be  favorably  convincing. 

The  markets  of  London,  Paris,  New  York, 
Berlin,  Vienna,  have  been  the  centres  of  our 
energies  for  months  past  and  we  claim  a  col- 
lection second  to  none.  Models  from 
Paquin,  Drecoll,  Cheruit,  Worth,  speak  of  our
